Welcome from Orange County in Southern California.
Classes are great! I always learn something new, and I always meet new people, which is fun.
Even if you've sewn for years, classes answer those odd questions - like how to handle bias-cut pieces, using rulers and templates, etc. Then you can add this information to what you already know. Learn what works for you, then do your own thing. There are no quilt police.

Hello and welcome from the UK! I'm fairly new to quilting too but one thIng I have learned is that there is often a different way to do most things, so maybe you weren't so wrong in the first place, just different :lol: :lol: :lol:

Welcome from central Florida. I am mostly self and book taught but in classes you learn from each other as well as the teacher - often there is an easier way. I don't know if there is a "wrong" way to make a quilt - but I am all for finding an easier way.
