- Arrange with the church to have a charity day event in a room that has enough outlets for machines
-Set and announce the date and time (I ran one recently 9 am to 4 pm)
- ask the Rector/Pastor to put an announcement in the church bulletin
- Have some volunteers come eary to do set-up, e.g. tables for machines, chairs at tables, etc
- Have everyone bring their machines and lots of fabric
- Get donations of fabric even from church members that aren't participating - cotton or cotton-poly only
- Find (and make a few duplicates of each) some easy, quick patterns for quilts and stockings
- on the charity day, put all fabric into a large (hope large) pile from which each person can take what they need
- If you think they'll get that far (unlikely for the quilts, maybe for the stockings) bring batt and large pieces for lining. Otherwise, get some volunteers to take home and finish the quilts.
