- Classes are scaled according to level of skill mastery expected in order to participate and have a positive learning experience. Beginning quilt classes, as well as those requiring minimal skill mastery are geared toward novices and are marked with a single diamond (♦), whereas classes requiring greater skill mastery are marked with up to four diamonds ( ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦). Note that classes with two diamonds require students to be comfortable in their basic sewing abilities; two diamond-classes are not geared toward novices.
