My my sister got me into quilting back in 1996, she paid for me to take a class for a salpler type quilt. It was a total waste of time/money & I thought I was teaching the class as she did not take into account the non sewers who were taking the class. Some were still trying to figure out how to thread their machines. There are so many tutorial video's on the Internet now that I can't see the need for taking classes unless it insures the completion of a particular project or is for learning how to use a computerized sewing machine.
