Because you dont have any idea who will be showing up it might be nice to bring along with you fabric for the first class,Explain the different kinds of fabric and what there best used for.Some one might not be able to afford a lot of new stuff to start out right.I know for me I felt overwhelmed at the cost of notions you need just to get started.Quilting is not a cheep hobby as we all know,It would be nice to mention the great benefits of quilting and meeting new friends as your doing this.Good luck and Your in my prayers in your great endever.
