I have taken two of the FW classes with her. She is wonderful and her knowledge of the FW is amazing. She was at a retreat I was at and she stayed up with a group of us until wee hours telling us wonderful stories and fascinating history of quilts. If you get a chance to attend one of her lectures it's worth it. Her talk about the depression era and the quilt show has several shocking facts. I recommend the purchase of the new foot pedal for the FW and she will connect it herself in class. If you have the white featherweight there is a difference in how you do maintenance on it but all is covered. She makes sure every class member knows how to get the perfect stitch and tension too.
