At the shop I go to the beginners class was big, a decent group of us took intermediate together & five of us took advanced. I haven't been interested in most of the specific classes-like whack & stack, hunters star, twister etc. I did take the pineapple class that was a one day class. Sometimes we "recruit" our friends to get the five person minimum sign up for the class to make, but frequently they don't get enough people. A few that I did want to take have been day classes I couldn't attend. I have no interest in small projects like table runners, etc. More junk to store that I would never use.
