My daughter started learning when she was 5 before starting kindergarten. Her first several projects were pillowcases she made on the serger and then the machine. Her daddy still uses them to this day. This past summer at 7 she made her first quilt from start to finish by herself on my machine and took first place at the local county fair, all the kids were in the 10-12 age category she went up against. Since she is not old enough to use the rotary cutter I did it for her. We used a rail fence pattern so that it was easy for me to square up the squares without it looking odd.

I highly recommend teaching them young.
