This is the second class I have purchased from Annie's of Nancy McNally. The instructor and her teaching style are fun and precise. Nancy offers an in-depth know how to this art. She adds humor and personality as well. I have become more knowledgeable and understand the rationale with the process. Should you be reading this review, I know you have the interest. You won't be disappointed

I love Nancy and how she teaches. This is now my 3rd class that I have purchased. I also love the feature "Ask the Instructor" I have not been disappointed when I have asked questions she answers as quickly as possible. Her teaching methods are similar to a parent guiding you and teaching trying to make sure you don't make the same mistakes I love Nancy's presence on the screen warm and inviting, patient and kind.

I would normally give this class five stars; Nancy is probably the best instructor I have had in the many quilting classes I have taken. And the content is excellent. However, the technical aspect of navigating through the class does not compare favorably with other well-known sites offering similar classes.
