I have learned to take the book over a. class.
There is always someone in a class that just holds up the instruction - either taking the class is above their skill level or they have no clue on how to use the features of ther machine. So we wait while this person has to have individual instruction. I have then paid good money to advance the knowledge of someone else.
The last class was a FMQ class. There were two dear older ladies there. The first instruction was to set the tension on the machine. Tension? What's that? I never touch any buttons on my machine. ( Of course they were oversold high end computer machines.
Ok 30 minutes later - drop your feed dogs. Sigh.
I did stay for a little bit longer then quietly gathered my stuff and the book and went home.
I now use all the available videos out there and buy a book if I think it will help. A book is forever.
