In Raliegh they have the original Sewing and Quilt Expo. I really like that for a few reasons. First of all; its not just mainly about quilting, it has great classes on quilting, embroidery and sewing clothes. Most if not all of the classes the machines are supplied. Last yr I got to take a class on FMQ and binding using the Viking Ruby which is what I had at that time. It was nice not to have to lug a machine to class plus I got to learn on a new machine. I also took a class on dyeing silk; that was really nice. They have great vendors and drawings every night; you don't have to buy tickets, you enter when you go to the expo. They put the schedule up about 60 days in advance and most of the classes have all supplies included with the cost. There are some in Chantilly which would be closer to you but last yr that was around October and also one if Fredricksburg Va, etc. I'm so lucky that my best friend lives in Raleigh but if she didn't I'd have to find a way to go.
