Haha, I loved reading this thread. It
almost makes me want to try it again. I took a fm class at an AQS show 5 years ago with a couple of friends....I sucked!! It was so embarrassing and frustrating. Now mind you most of the people in the class were first timers just like me. I was so bad in comparison to the others that the teacher subtly gave me all her samples and told me to go home and practice. They are still sitting in the sack. Trouble is I love piecing so much that it is hard to take time away from that to do something so frustrating and nonproductive.
