If someone has never made a quilt before and wants to learn, they have to come to my house. I let them use all my tools and my machines...except I no longer allow anyone to take my stuff home. Usually people who have never made a quilt may or may not like the actual experience. I hate to see them invest money into a hobby and then never use the tools again. They also see what tools they like better than others so that if they do go on with this hobby, they'll know what they want and be more selective.
