How about a class on doing maintenance on our sewing machines. Not computer machines but basic maintenance jobs that we could perform ourselves. Maybe you could get a technician to donate a few hours of their time to help the cause. Just a thought.

paper piecing and applique are always welcome classes too

I am not math-minded and I have to stretch my brain to do this, BUT I am great at spelling. Haha, we all have our useful gifts!

A paper piecing class/ demo. I use freezer paper instead of a tear away paper and find it to be much easier and less time involved, since you don't need to remove the paper. Maybe you could find someone to demo this procedure. Bobbin work or using different embroidery threads or textured threads in your machine. Couching threads- how to and demo. Adding piping or skinny flanges to your binding. Do a hands-on with fabric paints, Paintstiks, fabric markers. My Guild did a hands-on with rust dyeing. I missed that meeting, so I'm not sure how it all worked out, but do know that people went home with wet fabric, they had to rinse out at home the next day. My Guild has lots of long armers in it, maybe yours does too. Perhaps some of them would be able to share some ideas of how they decide what designs get quilted in different portions of a quilt. Binding, borders.

Thought of a couple more: using washable glue for bindings = no pins! Enlarging or reducing blocks, adding pieced borders, a basic color class.

How about how to put on a sleeve on the back of a quilt for those that hang them.

Modern quilting is the next big thing! I love it and it really appeals to young quilters. Just like churches the quilting world needs young blood.
