That class I learned nothing but how to make quilting miserable. Buy the pattern and do it the regular way on your own and save some misery. LOL
I'd love to hear more about how Judy Niemeyer's paper piecing method differs from "regular" paper piecing. (I've done some regular paper piecing (sewing through the paper), and I've done some of the so-called "paperless paper piecing" (where you use freezer paper and fold back the paper along the sewing line and then sew *right next* to the fold). The latter was really nice in that the paper comes off the fabric easily and you don't have to pick bits of paper out of seams.)
