I,like Terry enjoy classes for different reasons. Usually just to see what tips a teacher cans give. They usually have some handy tips to offer. I may or may not use her techniques after
the class. There are more than one way to skin a cat. I tend to be one of those faster sewers but try to hold back so the teacher can tell us her way to accomplish the next step. If others around me seem confused I will offer help until the teacher comes around. Just trying to help the others enjoy the process. And I do not own top of the line anything. Nor do I find the need for it. I would rather spend my $ on fabrics.
I would also rather have an instructor that can tell me what I am doing wrong if I get stuck. You don't get that with YouTube
