Until recently I quit taking classes, too often a class would be held up while waiting for someone (30 to 45 minutes), then the class would end on time without all the info because of the late comer. I took one class, cut fabric as directed, the teacher apologized said oops I gave the wrong direction and told you to buy more fabric, HECK NO so I just lost that money, another class was for applique, we cut out the fabric, sewed some of the quilt and they said okay finish quilt at home and then applique! I said I had no idea how to do this and the answer was go to U Tube. Recently I took 2 quilting classes and learned a lot. One was Helen Frost binding class and it was wonderful, the second was a quilting class to learn a new technique and I also found that to be a good class. So I think people need to know up front what to expect and what they will WALK out with. I am once again taking classes and just did a one block wonder class that was very good.
