I have a different philosophy about teaching hand quilting which works after literally 100's of students over the years.
I would be glad to give you suggestions and details.
However, to start. The students are there to learn to hand quilt. All the other information can come later if the classes go for several sessions.
I spend less than 1/2 hr talking about tools etc and then get them to needle and thread. I provide a kit of my batting of choice with backing and 1/8" gingham check and #8 needle and black thread and thimble and demonstrate the stitch and get them going. I also use the Morgan No Slip 14" hoop.
