Well Shelby, we have all had a great chuckle at your perdicament. I noted earlier that " a little knodledge is ....a damned annoying thing!" and now after rereading this thread I need to quote a co-worker..."No good deed goes un-puninshed!" Sorry you got her that class BUT we all know that she will outgrow this QP stage. Someday soon you shall have a great quilting buddy. Hang in there Babe, the best is yet to be! Cheers!

She also took every word as the quilting gospel.
I now know that:
I use my rotary cutter improperly.
My bobbin thread is not always the same color as the top thread.
I incorrectly mix my fabrics in the same quilt. ( Joanns, WalMart and LQS) Oh! The horror!!
I sometimes use a sheet for backing.
I sometimes use dishes, lids or whatever instead of proper templates.
I don't really NEED all the rulers I have.
I don't always follow the pattern.
Bless her well meaning heart, I love her dearly but if she says just ONE MORE thing about my methods or lack thereof, I will beat her to death with my stash.
I sent her the link to this board, she will learn much more here from all of you talented folks.
