I firmly believe that ALL beginner quilting classes should not be about making a quilt at all..but instead about learning the machine, learning about the different fabric, learning to read patterns, learning about threads, needles, etc...and then, when the FACTS/rules are explained, and one firmly understands them, they can proceed with making a quilt...for then they will truly understand what it means to make a QUILT and not just sew up a blanket!
