Hello All! Others have named good teachers & I've been fortunate to be on the receiving end in their classes. So Bravo--keep up the good work! However, I'd like to make a point using my embroidery experiences. There are some wonderful embroiderers (& lacemakers!) out there. They are quick to develop a concept & run with it, their work product is beyond reproach--BUT--they can't teach their way out of a paper bag. Sorry--it's the truth. They are simply incapable of conveying their knowledge to anyone else. Can DO, but can't teach embroidery. I've sat in class only to realize I signed up for several hours of nothing. Nor am I the only student who has come away from these events with glazed eyes saying "huh??"!! Actually, some of the best teachers are not (compensated) teachers at all. They are the friends & mentors who nudge in the right direction or gently point out the error. In that regard, Arachne members clearly lead the pack. Ever grateful here. Sincerely,! Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
