So Excited and Soooo Nervous

Good for you. Get there early to set up your machine. Take the machine that you're most comfortable with and gives you the least amount of problems. Take everything with you that you normally use when quilting; seam ripper, clippers, extra machine needles, extra bobbin, extra thread. And most inportant sit in the front of the class; you want to get a much help from the instructor as you can and a clear view of what she's doing. But mostly don't be intimidated - if everyone else knew how to do the pattern they wouldn't be there.

First, Take a deep breath, stop obsessing, don't worry about the bag you use to take things to class, dress comfortably, use old dependable machine but above all enjoy meeting new quilting friends, enjoy learning a new techique and maybe find a new techinque you just love and were afraid to try before being brave enough to take a class. Don't forget to give yourself a big pat on the back for being courageous enough to try. :-D :-D :-D

Yikes! What should I wear? I don't have anything quilty looking!
And what should I bring my stuff in? Arghhhh! No quilty looking bag.
Should I bring my "good" machine or my plain jane old faithful?

Take the machine you are most comfortable with. Wear whatever you like. Make sure you take a "potty-break" because you will probably laugh a lot! Have fun! I have never taken a class that wasn't fun!
