Questions
Who is it for?
Libraries, craft studios, quilt shops, wine-and-craft nights, community centers, and independent teachers. You don't need to be an expert: make the class piece once at home first, and the guide covers the rest.
What does the license allow?
Teaching paid or free in-person classes at one venue (or as one independent teacher) for 12 months, with our class patterns and any free kinusaiga.org pattern, and printing the patterns and handouts for your participants.
Do I need to give participants knives?
No. The guide describes three ways to run a class, including one where you score the boards beforehand so there are no knives at the table. It is the usual choice for libraries and evening events.
How much does a class cost to run?
The guide has a cost-per-seat table with typical US prices for foam, adhesive sheet and fabric, and how venues price their classes.
Does it include the paid collections?
Yes. The Class Host Pack includes the All-Access Pass: the Christmas Collection, every future collection, and the sell-what-you-make license, for your own use.
