My first suggestion would be to hire a tutor that would make house calls.
Then my concerns would be -where would one find someone? who could/would one trust? and how much would it cost?
Maybe advertise at one of the LQS? maybe ask around at a quilt or craft show?
I'm one of those that learn best by - maybe your Mom is, too?
1) Demonstrate it
2) Let me do it
3) Show me again if I didn't get it
4) Let me do it
I MUST do it myself to get and retain the "how to" -
