maybe taking something very specific project like you are working on and going through the steps would help you too. i asked her to sit with me for every step; the seam, the cutting, the piecing, the pressing. i got some great little insight into the things that are cumulatively to blame for my less than accurate piecing.

might be worth it

I agree, and ALL of my LQS's have free open sewing days once a week, or once a month. If you have one close to you, that could help. If not help from the employee there, usually other quilters go just for the social aspect and love to help. Please stick with it- watch U-tube tutorials for tips, also!
