Make sure you make a complete list of items they would need;
rotary cutter, cutting mat, scissors, rulers, sewing machine, etc., etc.,
I have been to classes that other people who are not prepared or not realize they needed a sewing machine (duh, a sewing class)
Question, is this suppose to be a 101 quilting class (for beginners) or will this be or a 201 class (some quilting knowledge and supplies). That will also make a difference in what directions you go. Most 101 students do not know what a rotary cutter is or how to work it and they might have a sewing machine but not know about 1/4" seam sewing or maybe not a 1/4 foot. Just food for thought
