Chris Combs said… Linda,
I agree with your comment on applique classes. I have started teaching appllique in one of my local shops. When they ask me how many students I need for a class, I always say "one". That's how people learn - one quilter at a time. Hopefully you will find a teacher willing to teach "you" how to applique. I'll help or give you any advise I can :)
