Thanks for your reply Christine. I'll be teaching (for starters) a Quilting 101 type class.

Do I give them a list of things purchase and bring to class? Cutting Mat, Rotary Cutter, etc?
What about fabrics? Have a kit ready for each student or make fabric selection part of the first class?

I was thinking of having them assemble a very basic simple quilt top (lap quilt size) and teach them the importance of keeping the seams exact 1/4", how to press the seams, how to apply sashing and borders and end with a lecture on differences in batting, putting the sandwich together for hand quilting vs. long arm quilting vs. domestic machine quilting and binding the quilt.

I'm planning 4) 2 1/2 hour classes

I know I can do it, just need some guidelines and I really appreciate your help!!!!
