What have other students said about Bethanne’s Teachable/Facebook integrated Masterclasses?

Lorie Quinn…

What can I say about Bethanne Nemesh?  One of the best teachers I’ve ever come across.  I took her Breaking Boundaries workshop and was amazed and delighted in the attention to detail in her teaching — the way she is able to break things down in manageable chunks that build with every class.  The shear amount of thought and time she puts into her classes is incredible and is worth far, far more than the price she charges.  She was always available to answer questions or help with problems and that in itself is worth the price of admission!  I was trepidatious at first, but I can say that the amount of information, knowledge and material that I received far exceeds the price of the class.  It is an absolute bargain.  Bethanne is a delightful person, a wonderful teacher, an amazing artist and I can’t wait to take her next class. 

Shelly DeyHay-Turner…

This is my second class that I have taken with Bethanne and I could not be more impressed.  Bethanne is a teacher extraordinaire.  Her ability to breakdown various designs into achievable quilting components is nothing short of magical.  She is a generous and knowledgeable instructor who goes the extra mile to ensure all her students, regardless of skill level,  are comfortable and confident in their learning journey. I now have a repertoire of highly creative background and transitioning fills that I use frequently and with the greatest of confidence. I highly recommend Bethanne’s classes and I am sure you will be as impressed as all of us who have had the pleasure of being one of her many students!  Run…don’t walk to her next class!


Lorri Wurtzler…

Being a teacher myself I have high standards for a great teacher and Bethanne hits that mark.  Bethanne really understands the software she uses and presents well in the online teaching environment.  Bethanne has completely thought out the teaching agenda from starting us with a quilt idea/pattern so that we are all starting from the same place.  Then breaks down each session with quilting designs that are similar and provides handouts to support each lesson.  She provides tips and tricks all along the way that shows me she is listening and responding to all her students questions.  I love her attention to all the details and can’t wait to see what class is next.

Phyllis Coppolino….

My class was one of the most enjoyable quilting experiences I have ever had. Bethanne’s teaching style breaks each detail of process and making each design part of a “system”, so no matter how complex, it all make sense in the end, and I feel I am empowered to improvise with the same system and make new, unique things.  Bethanne’s detailed prep work gives her students a fantastic journey!

Student confidence is my #1 goal

Elevates your freemotion Quilting to an expert level

December 22, 2025

Blooming botanicals was my second class with Bethanne after the feather fiesta. She explains every step so well and detailed that even as a relative beginner i had no problems to follow and perform. I think the feather fiesta is the best course for feathers you can get. Not only are you able to reproduce the most lovely feathers including Bethannes stunning dragonfinfeathers but she also enables you to create your own feather designs. The indepth teaching makes you quilt like a Professional. Nobody including my american neighbours believed that i am a novice in Quilting when they saw my feathers.

I still have not explored everything in that course but decided to gift me another course. Blooming botanicals is wonderful. All the different flower designs but also the use of space in your quilting just complimented the previous course to perfection. I learned so much in the design sessions. And thank you again for designing all our favourite flowers.

I can highly recommend Bethannes courses.

After my first class Feather Fiesta 2025 I took the Blooming Botanicals

December 22, 2025

It was again a great class on a very high professional level and I could learn so much from it, but it will take some time for training and it is very good to have the class videos available whenever is time to watch them again. The way of excellent explanaition, than drawing and after that sewing / quilting on both: sit down and maschine on the frame – this is a lot of fun and almost every class brought me to so much ideas for new Free Motion quilting : Thank you very much Bethanne – I am looking forward to meet you in person – maybe in Paducah 2026. Would be great. Thanks, Barbara from Berlin, Germany

Worth Every Penny

December 14, 2025

I have taken 3 of Bethanne’s courses (Feather Foundations, Sweet Tooth, and now Blooming Botanicals) and she never disappoints. I was hesitant to invest the tuition for Blooming Botanicals, having purchased several others at a similar (or higher) price point and come away with very few new skills. However, Blooming Botanicals is jam-packed with practical and useful information. It is based on a SYSTEM of quilting botanical designs, not just learning a few motifs. Bethanne is a true educator and organizes her classes so that students build skills progressing from simple to more complex designs. The feedback from Bethanne is personal, thoughtful and aimed at polishing students’ technique…every time I made a submission for feedback I learned from her comments and especially how she drew over my designs. It was apparent that she invested time and effort in helping me to improve. The last design session is astounding…opens thought processes by suggesting how to use the designs on a huge variety of actual student quilts. I am so glad I took this course…worth every penny!

Thanks for Botanicals!

Grab a notebook and take the class!! I hesitated due to price priorities but decided I was worth the cost. I have learned so much and feel so much more confident in my free motion abilities. The methods enable me to quilt in a more organized method for cleaner appearance. Thank you, Bethanne

Absolutely Incredible

January 5, 2025

I am an online Quilting class junkie, and I am addicted to Bethanne’s classes. These are, without a doubt, some of the best classes you could ever take. I always dreamed of quilting organically “on the fly” and these classes have elevated my quilt and design skills higher than I ever could’ve imagined. My skills continue to soar thanks to Bethanne and her incredible teaching style. Bethanne is a gifted teacher and is eager to share her knowledge with anyone who has a thirst for learning. I have taken almost all of her classes, and they have been exactly what I needed to level up on my quilting journey. These classes are comparable to taking courses at an actual Art University- without the crazy art school costs! I can’t recommend these classes enough, and I look forward to taking more classes with Bethanne, as she has so much to offer.
