give her a little time. When I first started I took everything I read or heard as gospel. Then I decided that I could change it up a bit (or a lot, or do my own thing!) and still like the results. :)

I got your back! The most important guideline in quilting is HAVE FUN followed closely by THERE ARE NO RULES!

thank god you sent her for lessons so she can finally teach you the proper way to quilt and put an end to these terrible habits you have...........


LOL, good luck with her.

I'm a self taught quilter. The quilt police can take a flying leap. I like my work and others seem to like it too. That's all that matters

So would that be a local or federal badge she wears????

I suspect she is either like this in everything, or else she is just so new to quilting that she hasn't had enough time to be surrounded with a variety of other quilter's ideas and methods. Hang in there and just give her a little "knowing" smile whenever she critizes you. I am sure she thinks she is helping you with all of her NEW knowledge. Remember you love her even with her flaws.

If I went by the first quilting class I took, I'd be cutting with scissors and piecing by hand and trying to get 14 stitches per inch.
The next year I went to a quilting getaway weekend and everyone was using rotary cutters and I promptly and purposely forgot everything I learned in that first class.

Yes, but can she quilt. You know what the say about giving some people a little knowlege; she "knows" the basics but....
You did a great thing and she'll end up realizing there are so many ways to do it all.
