Nobody famous, but they should be! I took several FMQ classes with the same excellent instructor. This is one skill that a 'real' class makes such a big difference. I also took a machine applique class where 4 or 5 DIFFERENT techniques were taught. really great. Showed us every which way to do it, explained which technique would work with different situations. Love having different options. Again, excellent local instructor.
edited to add: With a local instructor the class sizes are really small, 4-6 around here, so you really get instructor attention.
