I would continue. There are many ways to accomplish the same results. Just think of this as an experience in other options. You may find something that will help in a particular pattern. Then when the class is over you can go back to the process you prefer

Good for you! Sometimes it just takes a while to settle into a class situation. Though after reading Tessagin's experience....well in that case I would have been 'steaming' and there would have been hell to pay.

That may be true but is it worth the $$$$$$ and time?

I feel your pain. I took a quilting class in the fall. I was really looking forward to it but was completely disapointed. I too am a self taught quilter, but I've been sewing for almost 40 years, so I wasn't ignorant to the concepts. The other ladies were very green to the entire process. On numerous occasions I felt the instructor singled me out in front of the class for my "QUILTING ERRORS". I did force myself to complete the course only because I never allowed my children to quit things they started. They always had to see it through to the end. Didn't want to be the hypocrite mom. I'm not sure if I will ever take another class. I just never left class excited to return.

I agree with MKC. Life is to short to waste doing something you really don't enjoy.
|
So - did the original poster finish attending the classes? and what is her opinion about it now?
|
please elaborate, start with which class are you taking? and give details about what you dont like. everything is a learning experience, even for us who have been doing this awhile.
|
Get your money back...The instructer apparently is all about herself and her way or the highway..I would insist on a refund..!!! Where did this class take place?? I want to make sure I never go there!!!

When I first started quilting signed up for every quilt class I could go to. I learned more about quilting classes then quilting. LOL If the teacher caters to the unprepared student and the rest of the class sits and waits. I speak up! I didn't use to but it's my time and money and I got over being nice and losing out. If the teacher isn't giving her full attention to the class I ask for my money back after the first half of the class. I don't wait her out. If the teacher is rude I say something immediately in front of the whole class. I've learned how to be a good class member too. I never say there is a faster or another way to do something then what is taught. There is always one person in the class that does this and no one cares to hear it. I don't try to use a regular ruler when a specialty ruler is recommended. I come prepared and on time. I don't ask to borrow. I don't chew gum or wear perfume. I turn my phone to silent.
