Maybe rather than have a extra class the tutor could spend a small amount of time at the beginning of the lesson to check that customers are doing the right thing. So that their pieces turn out the right size.
Unfortunately just because they have made a few quilts doesn't always mean they know what they are doing.

YES! I always teach proper rotary cutting at the beginning of a class. Of course, if someone wants to skip that, they can start sewing, but I do think it's a sensible idea to review and possibly learn good things.
