BINGO!! My guess is that you are just not offering the right things to make. At the age of 66 years and sewing since I was five years old, I do not want to make another apron or a sewing room organizer! I would like to know more about Quilt Math calculations and digitizing designs and the color process. I learn something new every time I sit at my sewing machine and it is my passion, but on a fixed income, I can't afford to spend a lot of money unless it is really worth learning some thing new. I think most LQS have a hard time finding skilled teachers.
