I am a complete novice as it comes to the sew machine. Yes, I tied 1 quilt, but that is about all I can do. :oops:
Where is the best place to learn how to sew well? I would like to be able to do it professionally sometime in the very far future... So, where?
I do not live near a joannes, I'm out in the country, and what would be a fair price to pay per hour or so?
Thank you so much

Check with your county cooperative extension office, usually listed in the blue pages. I've always found classes through them that are well presented and very cheap to take, and if they don't , they would have some local resources for you.

There are some great books out there too. And video tutorials on the web. I'm sure it's kind of hard to get a class when you're out in the beautiful country. And the best advice I ever received...practice, practice, practice! And of course this board is filled with experts. All you have to do is ask away!

Our own ShellyQ has the most wonderful tutorials right here on this board. Here's the first one: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/6460.page
So happy to see a young person wanting to learn quilting. You'll do great! It's so much fun!

Quilter101, don't you have a Home Economics class at your school? My 13 year old son is taking it (here it's called Family and Consumer Science or FACS) and has taught me a few things! He is currently learning to knit. The best part is he had a choice between FACS or Woodworking and he chose FACS! He's made a drawstring tote, pajama pants, a zippered pencil case, and is currently working on a knitted scarf. They also do cooking and baking. Also, your local library will have resources and may even know someone that does lessons.
