i really wish i had a class like this...instead i looked all over the internet for bits and pieces.
One of the big things for me was what thread to use to quilt with. And then does it make a difference if you sew your binding with a different thread? i still don't know if it really makes a difference.
A good cutting mat, a sharp rotary cutter and a few different sized rulers will make your life very easy!

Congratulations to Sarah C!
I have no idea about thread for binding - I have used lots of different ones (basically what has been in the machine) to stitch it down, but I have found my favorite thread to hand stitch it down with is the thinnest Aurifil thread - the stitches basically become invisible.
