Oh Pat, sorry you had an embarrassing class! I had one class with different level of students, but the person that took the cake was the one that had a brand new machine that had never been taken out of the box and she didn't have her fabrics either...... another student in that same class was very 'needy'.... she had been quilting for several years, but just didn't know how to do anything on her own. If a couple other students hadn't been 'over achievers' and helped that whole class would have been a bust..... I was really surprised when I was complimented from the students..... Next time I will know to refund the money to the ones that are not prepared or switch them to another class....
