I think a good thing to learn is that you need to measure twice and cut once. Also another good thing is to make sure that you are sewing a 1/4 inch the way that the pattern is asking you to do. That can be the difference between a really nice looking block that is the correct size and a block that is totally wonky. Also would be good to maybe include simple instructions on how to do the really simple blocks, like 9 patch, 4 patch, rail fence, ohio star, half square triangles, a pinwheel block, and maybe a square in a square block or something. that is how my mom did a class one time. oh another thing that I just thought of you may want to include a list of all of the supplies that you would need to have to be a successful quilter. self healing cutting board, rotery cutter, scissors (good quality), snips, small hand held rulers, a larger rulers for cutting and at least a 6inch square ruler, a small cutting board to put next to your machine, a sewing machine of course, and needles, (tell them what each size is used for and which ones are the best for certain things), and what thread works best for which project. and don't forget that they will need a seam ripper unfortuantly, what sewer can say honestly that they haven't used our bestest friend at least once or twice. well that is the end to my disertation.
