I would not take the class by Wendy Butler Berns - did not like it. Lori Kennedy has 2 classes and she is great for beginners. I would not attempt ruler work if you are a beginner. Cindy Needham is awesome but think you might want a little more experience before tackling her work. There are tons of videos by Leah Day on Youtube and she is really good also. If you have $70 to spend, wait till the classes go on sale for $19.99 and you can get quite a few. They go on sale often so you won't have to wait too long. I have over 100 Craftsy classes and really enjoy their classes!! Bet you will become a Craftsy addict too!! LOL!!
