Contratulations on your new adventure. Select a simple pattern (ex. Bar Quilt, Rail Fence), have class objectives, basic supply list and fabrics needed for project (tools needed for making a quilt), basic machine theory, how to use the tools. Bar quilt or Rail Fence will introduce the students how to use the basic tools,stitching straight lines, fabric theory and basic machine stitching. If time permit, you can cover batting and backing techiques. If I pay for a class I would like to have a finish product or fell comfortable enough to finish at home and try another projects on my own. Check out the internet for teaching a beginners quilt class. Great ideas and suggestions. Good Luck!
