The math needed for quilting is soooooooooooo easy, so elementary that all those "I can't do math" people could be cutting their own templates and drawing their own sketches and enlarging/shrinking their own patterns is they'd just sit for a while and let someone show them. Well, wait, I know at least one who couldnt'
I have also heard women BRAG about not being able to do math and say women are not supposed to know how to do math! Then they all laugh and say that's why you marry rich husbands. Makes me want to scream.
The other thing I would really like to change are the Know-It-Alls who say everything is wrong although they have never made a quilt (or some even sewn anything) in their life.
