I haven't taken a class at a LQS in over a year. The only time I can take one is on a Saturday, and most of the LQSs in my area have group things scheduled -- Saturday Sampler, Applique, Fat Quarter Club, etc. The last class I really wanted to take was to make one of those tuffets, and surprise!, it was scheduled for a Tuesday. Those of us who work outside the home are out of luck when it comes to classes.
I watched the Sharon Schamber YouTube on binding several times, and do a pretty good job now (at least better than I did before I watched it). I have signed up for several Craftsy classes, and am starting one on FMQ this Saturday, in the comfort of my home.
