I'm gonna relax my self expectations to do it all as fast as I can, and just enjoy the experience!
I have taken many classes over the years, sewing, quilting, gardening, minor home repair and am now a university student. I have never had a belittling instructor as an adult, but I did as a very young child and it haunts me to this day.
Some classes, I have signed up for, turned out not to be what I expected, one bra making class, the instructor was not good at fitting. But that did not stop me from making bras, I found another instructor and was able to fill in the gaps.
I have picked up good tips at each class I have taken (including the bra class where the instructor could not 'fit'), some I use to this day.
I understand about some techniques not being a fit for my preferred methods, but I always try the 'new' way it may just turn out to be easier in the long run.
I am glad you decided to stick it out.
