What I learned - Circles, in many ways. This class gave me the visuals to see how to make circles can be done in many ways. Throws in a wee bit of math and that was great. I was happy to see the different ways that you can complete circles and kinda demystifies them.
Teacher - Cheryl Arkison is fun. There were a few moment where I could tell she was nervous not not terribly. Cheryl is engaging and knowledgeable with the use of circles.
I did love hearing Cheryl talk as she's from Canada. . ohhh I love you Canadians!

Class Content - this is for multiple ideas for using circles in your small sewing or quilting projects. Cheryl goes through multiple techniques. This class is an okay addition to a quilters arsenal that wants to work with more than just straight line piecing. The techniques are presented in a clear way.
Rating - This is a Blah - So So - Like - Love class.
This is an overall so-so class for me. I don't use a ton of circles or embellishments in my projects. Like none. I can make curves but rarely use straight up circles. When I do choose to have some circles in my projects, I'm glad I have this class.
I would recommend this class for any level quilter especially if you are a visual learner.
The quality for the price is okay. Funny enough, I would buy this again if I were having issues with sewing curves or had a specific project with circles or if it were on sale. I bought it when it was on sale and I was sick and in bed. I love watching others sew. This was a great addition to my classrooms. This class didn't spark any - ohhh I have to do that moments. I imagine if I am ever of need to add circles to my quilts, I'll be happy I have this to refernce for the visual and teaching.

Always good to have a review that shows the ups and downs of something. Although I now have The Hockey Song going through my head after the 'she's from Canada' comment lol
ReplyDeleteCheryl is lovely in person, she is fun and easy to get along with. I really liked the class, I have taken it too, but the again I make circle a lot.
