You will enjoy it once you start.Are you going to teach making the quilt top and then quilting,or will it be quilting in the frame.some ladies(men)just like the quilting part, WHY NOT BUY A ALL CLOTH TOP ,THATS A PLAIN COLTH WITH THE STICHING ALL MARKED FOR YOU TO SEE IF THEY KNOW HOW TO HAND QUILT,I HAVE A QUILT SHOP NEAR THAT SELLS THEM ALL MARKED,THE LAST ONE I GOT FOR MY GROUP WAS ABOUT $60.00,THEY ARE USALLY QUEEN SIZE.I ONLY HAVE ONE LADY OUT OF 8 THAT KNEW HOW TO PEICE A QUILT ,THE OTHERS DID NOT WANT TO LEARN, IF WE MADE A PEICED QUILT I DID THE PEICEING, GOOD LUCK.
