I may be late with my reply, but thought you might like to know. I have a junior quilting group ( ages 6 to 11) we make rug mugs for mother day. They drew a picture muslin with crayola crayon.. Iron the wax out between paper towels. I explain sandwiching as if they were making a peanut butter sandwich. Once the sandwich was made the children were intruduced to to the sewing maching as a group going over the safty rules. Then each child were given a chance to quilt thier mug rug. as I stood by. The 6 year old sit in my lap while I guided her hands. Since our machined do not have speed controll. I put waddes of paper under the foot peddle so the stayed of the "turn pike". Be prepared for "grandma what do I do next? all at the same time. P.S. I cut the muslin before class. I started this group last year with the advice from this board.So my thanks to the many who gave me advice and may they have many blessing
