I stopped signing up for classes. If i purchase the book, specialty rulers and the pattern, then any monkey can do it (no offence to the monkey). Sometimes they only show how to make "one block" with these tools and then send you on your way. I am always hoping for a day or two of sewing with others and getting a major portion of the flimsy done.....but that is not how it works. Show up, pay. they read you the instructions, make one block, go home and finish it. No fun, no thanks.
