I have taken classes with Kay and found her funny and informative. I love her Nifty Notions rulers (and the TruCut Brand Rulers for making strips). If you aren't already ruler poor get them before the class and use your own instead of waiting in line to use group ones. She moves right along. Don't try to do a BIG something that is important to you. You want to be able to spend the time getting the techniques learned. Not doing everything perfect. Some people feel she is just pushing rulers but they really do work well.
