I teach young women from my church 2 months in the summer, I use this as a teaching class and at the same time we make things for our church Craft Sale, like placemats, pot holders, baby blankets, crazy quilt pillows, string quilts, etc. I also teach whoever wants to learn -the basics of sewing, quilting, knowing your sewing machine, cleaning and maintaining it. It's lots of fun and it helps me get rid of some of my fabric that has accumalated.
