quilt lesson
#41
Yes...take classes! I've been mostly self-taught due to health issues and have been quilting for 7 or 8 years. I have taken several technique courses and just yesterday took a 4 session basic quilting class. I learned enough to feel the price was worth it. Some thing s you just need to see done and be able to ask questions about. The class was fun, I was able to answer some questions for other quilters, I got a few new ideas for gadgets and new ways to do things. Not everything was a plus, I will not continue to pin baste leaving the safety pins open, I will go back to using quilt spray, but that's ok. There are a million different ways to do everything and it's really fun to see some of them.

I agree with QBeth. Going to the actual class will build confidence in you. Plus you will know for sure what your doing is correct. Going into a class in time builds friendships even with just one other person. On the other hand talk to the teacher re: how you feel and ask if you can drop out If you feel the need to without it costing you extra money.... Either way you go we know you will do great. Be sure to share you works with us. (((hugs)))

If you want to become an accomplished quilter, then by all means take a qulting lesson. You could also practice on a piece of muslin,batting and muslin-all three together and start stitching you could follow a pattern or do your own meandering. Good luck.
