Don't worry about what you take your supplies in and take the machine you know how to use and feel comfortable with so you can focus on learning.

And definitely sit in the front or close to so you can see and hear easily. I'm sure you'll find your "tablemate" will be friendly and you'll have a great time.

No matter how long I've been sewing and how many classes I take I always have a great time and usually learn something new also.

Don't worry about it! It is for fun....and learning.
I put my answers in CAPS for you.

Yikes! What should I wear? I don't have anything quilty looking!
SOMTHING COMFORTABLE
And what should I bring my stuff in? Arghhhh! No quilty looking bag.WE ALL USE WHATEVER WORKS

Should I bring my "good" machine or my plain jane old faithful?

THE LIGHTEST ONE IN WEIGHT. OR YOUR FAVORITE!

You want to sit up front and not miss anything. If you don't understand, ask questions. Remember never a dumb question unless it's unasked.

Take the machine you are comfortable with. Wear whatever is comfortable. Relax and take deep breaths. Wind a few bobbins before you go....don't forget your BSS (Basic Sewing Supplies: seam ripper, snips, spare needle, rotary cutter, mat)

And most importantly--> Have FUN!
