    Any ideas for a demo? At our quilt meeting we have a demo each month and I have it next month. ;) Need some ideas. We have beginners and very experienced quilters.

    A demo on continuous bias binding would be wonderful - I always forget just how to do it.

    Our last meeting had someone show the Acuquilt system... they cut the frayed edges flannel for the rag rugs...It was pretty cool.

    Another meeting they brought the EQ7 and showed some of what it could do.

    Since I'm new, everything is interesting

    What part of quitmaking do you do best? If binding is one of your favorites, that is always a good one. Adjusting a border stencil. The demo should be something you are confident doing.

    The one seam flying geese block and the 10 min block were the most popular demos at our guild.

    I am the program chair for our guild and due to a death our program presenter couldnt make it. I had to come up with something QUICK!!!!
    I just did a disappearing 9 patch and they LOVED it! I took pictures of each step and printed out the process for them and showed them how to do it. It was fun!!

    that is one of my duties for our quild. I had one of the quilters do a demo on continuous binding. It went really well. One month we all brought 2 of our fav tools. I'm needing ideas also.
