How To Teach Quilting Lessons

By Linda Ruiz


Being a quilting teacher is a very exciting job. This is because the teacher can have a wonderful time while he does their quilting lessons. It is also a job that can take them to some wonderful places if they maintain a positive attitude about their job. There are various things they can do as they prepare for the lesson. The steps listed below are some that they can follow to have good classes.

If one is a new instructor in some particular area, they can do a study in the area about this subject to get more information. They could find similar instructors to get their opinion on the methods of teaching to use. They might also join a quilting guild if it is available in the area to get to meet more people who share the same interests as they do.

They later should make a plan that sums up the parts of quilting they are able to teach with ease. When making these notes, they must make certain they do not write any works that are not their own before getting the authorization of the real writer. There are several quilt stylists who can be happy to let them use their work so they must get permission to avoid copyright lawsuits.

After preparing yourself for the lessons, now prepare the materials for the class. At this step you can prepare some samples that you will use to teach your students. Make brief notes that explain each step of the sample. Also include the measurements and all the materials that were used. You may also include a partially finished project that will help the students to understand how every step should appear.

The instructors must make sure that they have a complete list of all the required materials for the lessons. The list should be cross-checked to make sure nothing is missing. If the learners do not have all the materials the class will fail to run smoothly. The instructor can also make brief notes that will remind them of how the class should be conducted. These are not the same as the notes for all lesson.

The location for the classes must be arranged early. The teacher should prepare an application for getting the location and later check out the area to make sure it has the necessary things like a chalk board. This place should also be sufficiently spaced for all learners to park their vehicles. The place must also be well protected.

During the class, there should always be interaction between the instructors and the students. The teacher must always know the students by their names and maybe a little more about them like where they live. The instructor should make rounds in the class to get involved with the students as they do their projects.

The teacher should always teach at a pace that will favor every student in the class. There are some students who are usually slow and some are fast in learning new things. They should therefore make sure that the pace used does not undermine the slow learners. The scholars must fully be attentive before the lesson is started.
