TVQA QUALIFIED TEACHERS PROGRAM

Qualified TVQA Teachers are current members of TVQA who are willing to share their talent and time in helping others learn the art of quilting. They are enthusiastic, confident, and flexible. They make all students feel welcome, realizing all students are not at the same level. They should be aware of the history of quilting. A working knowledge of fabric, color, design, patterns, and techniques for piecing, appliqué, and quilting basics are essential.

A Qualified TVQA Teacher sets her/his own fees and negotiates with the guild requesting services. As a TVQA member it is expected that teachers will price their services fairly and possibly offer TVQA member guilds an advantage over non-member guilds. When hired by TVQA member guilds, Qualified TVQA Teachers are paid mileage by the TVQA treasury. Additional expenses, such as meals and overnight accommodations, are either included in the teacher's or covered separately by the guild.

Continued qualification is dependent on evaluation by groups who hire TVQA Qualified Teachers. Feedback to the Program Services Chairperson is welcomed.
