OMG!! I am teaching a beginner/intermediate class and the theme, for me, is ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE!!!! When I see mistakes, I know what to teach again, politely, as an aside the following week so as not to make it so glaring. I use the last 1/2 hour of each class to review basics in general. As a matter of fact, we are all, including myself, bringing in our first quilts and things to see how beautifully we have grown. I love my first quilts. They are misshappen, mismatched, missing good points and are the loves of my life!!! Poor sister! Give her hugs and advise her to get to another class soon!
