barbm Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Doodlebug, The LAer who taught me my first class charged $75 for an hour on the machine, although we went well over the hour. It included practice materials, thread, etc. But she was teaching upstairs in a quilt shop, so I\'m sure she was covered by liability insurance from the shop. Be sure to CYA, insurance-wise, before inviting someone into your studio to teach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryll Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I paid 75.00 for an all day class with 2 on a machine. I\'ve also paid 200 for an all day class with lots more people on one machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 do a search on line and see if you can find out what other teachers charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltaholi_518 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have taught a few, but if you are teaching on your machine, why are they taking a class? Do they want to buy a machine and compete with you?? I have taught a couple gals that have contacted me from this site. I teach on my machine, but they are most curious about loading, squaring up backs etc., and they were not close enough to compete, 30 miles or more. I charge, if someone asks, 4 hours for $150, and I am sure it gives them the peace of mind to get started. I also give them some thread samples (2 or 3) on cones that I know I can\'t get a whole quilt out of, just so they can try them for a short while on their machine.

MleS Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi All, I heard that APQS is coming out with a stitch regulator for George. Does anyone know what progress has been made and when we can expect to be able to order it? Emily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigletaz Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 George is the sit-down machine where the operator moves the quilt - I thought it wasn\'t possible to have stitch regulator on that type of machine???? That is what I\'ve been told at MQS last May/June. Lenni - yes (as Myrna stated above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
