I'm probably more of a "play beside" type of person, at age 68 I have more than established "my way" of sewing and do resent being told I'm doing it wrong, unless I am in a class to learn a new technique. When I belonged to a guild, every Feb. after the meeting was set aside to make charity quilts for our particular charity, there were some cutting, some sewing, some pressing, and it went pretty well. I also shared in a quilting day for a local charity that made quilts for kids in area hospitals, we could choose what we wanted to do, but it was more or less assembly line and we made quite a few quilts, and it was fun.
