I agree and have this issue to add, one gal had not yet purchased the pattern or fabric...instructor took her into the shop to select what was needed. I had paid for a 4 week course, but never returned and did not want a refund....just told myself never again. I have not taken another class, but still support the shop.

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.
