Sign up for private lessons. 
Cost of  private lessons at my studio or on SKYPE is $40/hr.  I recommend you plan for a minimum of 5 hours. Read what some of my students have said about this private class:

Barbara  tought me via Skype how to use CorelDraw in the context of using it to design quilt blocks, to color them, enlarge them and to be able to send them in life size to the printer. All this was new to me and I had no prior knowledge but with lots of repetition and clear explanations I was able to  learn how to use this complicated program  within 5 hours of tutoring.
Barbara Webster is  an excellent teacher. Her explanations are clear and precise and she is very patient and generous with her knowledge. It was a great experience and I look forward to using Barbara's services again in the near future.

"It was exactly what I needed.  Just right.  You get it!  You understood where I was coming from.  Thank heaven for somebody to talk CorelDraw with.  You can't imagine how much computer frustration you have relieved me of.  I loved working in your home studio with you.  It was very personal and professional at the same time.  Best computer education or quilting workshop money I ever spent." - Josie M

"I do not know where to begin to thank you for sharing your artistry and your CorelDraw expertise with me.  The experience was totally inspiring!  You are an excellent teacher.  You covered everything I needed to know, and did so in a very non-threatening, relaxed atmosphere. The private lesson was worth every penny!  I would HIGHLY recommend your workshop to other quilters who want to take their quiltmaking to new creative levels.  Thanks to your instruction, I feel I am on the right track to begin creating my own totally personal and unique quilts.  It was a real pleasure working with you, and I hope our paths cross again." - Judy R

"I just installed Kaleidoscope Kreator and am already having a blast!  Thank you so much!  Quilter's Polygons also arrived.  I am very inspired!" - Judy R
