    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?

    I always sit in the front so I dont miss anything, nobody cares what you wear quilters are comfortable, loving, helpful and friendly, dont worry about what you take your stuff in some of the gals in my classes just bring a paper sack. Just enjoy you will have a great time.

    Go to the class and have fun. Sit in the front or as close as possible. I have taken my stuff in everything from a suitcase, plastic tubs, groceries bags. Take the lightest sewing machine that is in good working order.

    It is a great class you will enjoy it for sure.

    There are no official 'Quilt class clothes' so that will be OK and I would take 'Old faithful' if you will be more omfortable. You will find many with less experience than you -- Relax and Enjoy!

    Good luck and have fun. I'm envious. I've been wanting to make a NY Beauty for a long time. Maybe this year.

    Wear comfortable clothing, and sit up front where all the fun is. You paid for the class, be there with bells on. Have a blast! Someday, I want to take a class.

    Sit right in front and learn all you can. You've paid
    Take your old machine you'll only be straight sewing.
    Wear comfortable clothes.
    Carry your equipment in whatever you have.
    If you knew how to do it you wouldn't need to do the class.
    Go with an open mind.
    Relax and have fun. If you don't walk away an expert at least you'll know more than when you arrived.
    Have a great time.

    Krystyna I wish I could take this class with you. I would love to learn how to make a NY Beauty. And I think that you would be a blast to hang with.
