I taught a six week class and usually gave them two weeks inbetween class 5 and 6 to catch up if necessary. They went home with a quilt that was sandwiched and ready to quilt. I demonstrated machine and hand quilting so that they could get and idea of what they wanted to do...and my phone and email were always open to them at any time after that. We usually got back together in about three months ( set the time then) to show and tell.
