PamelaG 30 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 Why are there almost never classes in the Western USA? I really don't want to travel to take a class. But looking at the calendar, there are usually ones in Texas, North Carolina, and Iowa. Rarely elsewhere. How about Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, or California? I'd even do Oregon or Washington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cagey 766 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 Pamela; Set the date, January 18-21, 2018 Ontario California; Road to California; http://www.road2ca.com/faculty.html Take all of Jamie Wallen's classes, and I think you will be more than happy with the new skills you learn. While it may not be an APQS class, I believe you will be able to transfer any/all instruction over to your machine. All of us sit-down quilters have to exactly that when we take long arm classes.

I'd even do Oregon or Washington. As Cagey suggests try Road to California. Sign ups have begun so I am not sure how many of the classes have sold our. I have taken quite a few of the longarm classes since they began offering them. Jamie Wallen is a very generous and kind teacher. He teaches using Innova machines and unfortunately they are usually housed in an old auto showroom down the road from the show and it has seen better days! If you are looking for a drawing class I have heard great things about Sue Heinz. There are a number of names teaching longarm classes that you will probably recognize. If you do decide to go make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. Most people just book during the show for the following year so things get booked up pretty quickly.
