Do you rate your classes so that people know what they're getting into? Example, beginner, confident beginner, intermediate, experienced. Have fun!!!
yes I always rate my classes, but unfortunately they don't seem to read that part in the registration booklet the community centre sends out. For example, I have a woman in my Monday night kaleioscope class that only learned out to sew a couple months ago. She made a very basic tote bag. This quilt I recommended for people with an intermediate level, and have quilting knowledge. You are doing different cuts and of course stack and whack. A few of these women have never had a rotary cutter in their hands before!!!!! Not to mention, they are not buying the amount of fabric that is needed saying they will work with what they have and make only three layers... ITS NOT GOING TO WORK!!! ITS THE FOUR PATCH POSIE QUILT!! YOU NEED ALL FOUR LAYERS OF FABRIC!! sigh... sorry for the shouting.. it just boggles my mind with some people !!!
