There are many good, experienced and talented teachers out there. If you want to learn, you'll find the right teacher. I suspect that quite a few people join classes for the social aspect and while I think that's fine for them, a more serious student needs to put more effort into researching teachers for themselves. Starting with their blog is good advice. If they share info freely, they aren't likely to hoard their secrets in the classroom.Turtlemoonimpressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178649128269650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-64492922482207180822015-02-05T14:46:24.703-05:002015-02-05T14:46:24.703-05:00Hear hear!

Additionally, just because someone has won big competiton awards, doesn't mean they are cabable of teaching or wish to share their 'secrets'.<br />After 25+ years on the quilting highway....I just retired...it's not the glamour life everyone thinks....however for me it was incredibly rewarding. I thought I'd travel teach forever but I CAN NOT deal with airline travel anymore....esp. living in rural America......The Inside Storihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984299652568523595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-39305633471677142842015-02-03T06:15:58.525-05:002015-02-03T06:15:58.525-05:00These are great suggestions, Kathy.
