                                     8 Ways To Ruin Your and Everyone Else’s Quilt Class

• Completely disregard the supply list. Don’t be bothered with those pesky supply lists  If you do bring supplies,
• don’t worry about being product specific.
• If the class calls for a sewing machine, do not take the time to test its capabilities. Heck you can try it out when you’re there.
• If the instructor is offering a book or pattern for the class, do not buy it.  I m sure you will take good enough   .notes…Better  yet,
• break the copyright laws and photocopy the pattern from someone else

• Bring your children/grandchildren    everyone loves kids! Especially when they are monopolizing class time and taking away from
• the focus of the class.
• Cell phone on at ALL times.  The constant ringing or beeping is not distracting at all.
•  Don’t be shy…tell us all what you think.  Make sure you tell the teacher and all the other students exactly how much you know
• about the project.
• Compare your work to th ose around you.  Forget that we all are on different levels and that some may have a bit more experience
• with the process or technique.
•  And finally forget that you’re there to take part in your favorite hobby. Enjoying yourself is not an option.
