I would and could not spend that kind of money. This is not a reflextion on if it is worth it or not. It is just too much money for me to spend at this point. I joined a free once a week class at a LQS. Everyone brings their own project and works on it. The woman that is the head of that particular class is a wonderful quilter and will help and teach you anything you want. I also do better with small time bites of learning then full submersion trying to absorb new things for days on end.
