I took a class on FMQ. I don't think at this point I have the knack nor the patience for it. First, I'm not insinuating in any way that the instructor is responsible for my lack of talent, however, I was sorely disappointed with the instructor. I see where she's at a disadvantage with so many different personalities, but as the "consumer", I'm paying to learn something...not to be an expert. There was ample time (an all day class) for her to do one-on-one, as in show-me-where-I'm-going-wrong, yet she was much more attentive to a few that were either "good" or had had her as a instructor before. The upside, I at least have a small knowledge of it that I didn't have before.
Come to think of it, my very first class on basic quilting, the instructor was happy to sit at the front and knit while we sewed. I learned how to chain piece, but not how to match up seams. Frustrating. The top is unfinished, but I'm leaving it as is, wonky seams and all. Eventually I'll finish it.
