Hoo boy, classes can be a challenge sometimes. Remember, you are going there to learn something new.
Believe it or not in only two classes of all the classes that I have taken in my life, I was better than the teacher-
one was in binding a quilt, (my binding was smoother, straighter and faster.) and the other was a color and a creative art quilt....
I too am a problem student, usually far behind the others, I think because I sew slowly -especially when I am learning something new. I had soooooo much trouble with paperpiecing, I took several classes.. Finally I learned. First piece = right side up and all the rest = right side down! (Truly -That was the secret to sucess!) LOL!
I hope you laughed! jpthequilter
