Perhaps a quick class or two on rotary skills and basic piecing would be a good "warm up" for the jacket class. Good luck!
Your jacket looks like it requires very advanced skills. Would you be interested in doing a graduated series of classes to get them there?
Or would the would-be students be willing to go over a checklist to make sure they would be able to keep up? (Or at least not whine and/or complain when things got a mite difficult)
We all have to start somewhere - but it isn't fair to the rest of the class it most of them are advanced and one has signed up that is still learning the difference between a scissors and a rotary cutter.
