I enjoy teaching and love sharing my passion with others. I limit my classes to 8 (that's all the room I have) and give everyone individual attention and assistance. I am very patient and work around the struggles, but what bothers me most are:
1. Arriving late
2. Not being prepared
3. Arriving early and wanting me to select their fabric or just chat while I am trying to set up
4. Not listening while I am giving instruction then asking me tor repeat it just for them. I don't mind repeating or helping, but please at least listen during the first instruction.
5. Signing up and not showing up.
Most students are prompt and prepared. If someone shows up late I continue with my instruction then, after the class begins work, I repeat it individually for the late comer. I always start on time and always state that I start on time. That way they know to be prompt in the future.
I keep my classes light and comfortable. There are no dumb questions and we are all there to have a good time and make a quilt.
