Quote: One time I was at a meeting for making charity quilts, and a quilter who was way more talented than I set me down at the machine and quickly told me how to sew down prairie points. In addition to figuring out a new machine and a new technique, I was already uncomfortable and intimidated. My stitching was terrible. I got out of there as soon as possible.


Yeah, I'm definitely a "play beside" type!
Wow, what a bad experience. That was very pushy and rude. Prairie Points???! I cant even spell it right.

I can't stand being in a group where someone is trying to get me to do something their way at their pace. I have to go to a quiet corner and puzzle through it myself. I prefer to say, 'Oooohh! you are SOOOO talented, you had better do that yourself!" Works great on the DH when he criticizes me for something like packing the dishwasher wrong.
