I say do what you are comfortable with....not what your husband or anyone else thinks. Everyone has their own learning style. Don't let being shy stop you though, find a teacher who you feel comfortable with, ask questions about what kind of class you would do best with.

From one shy person to another: take the class and ask for help when needed. I did and am glad of it!

Another option you might try is see if any of your friends are interested in attending with you. I took my first class with two of my dear friends who were more interested in quilting than I. Funny thing, I am the only one still quilting.

I've been quilting for years but took a class Saturday at our new LQS. I loved the teacher, met some new quilting friends, and learned quite a bit, especially about how sloppy my work had become lately! Check the quilt shops. This one offers a class for new quilters.

I've been sewing for 38 years, quilting for 12 and I take lessons, our local shop is teaching Martie and Me classes, $6.00 and you get the pattern and paper templates, I've been buying the plastic templates. I've had 2 lessons and have paid for the next 6..I love it

It's fun taking classes. I am also shy but it is so nice to see how to do things the right way and learn different tips and techniques.

I would love to be able to go to the class with you and help you with your shyness. I am sometimes timmid myself when learning new things. I have always found that there are some great teachers out there and I have only met a few PIA quilters. Pretty much we are a great group of people and helpful>>>>>>>>> go and enjoy.
