Supplies
We will work fast
Bring a small quilt sandwich. Top and bottom light colored
“ugly” fabric scraps and cotton or cotton blend batting scraps at
least 18 inches.
--
Small scissors or snips
-- Sewing machine – make sure it has been recently cleaned and the
tension is working fine.
-- Darning foot, also called a “free motion quilting” foot or an
“embroidery foot”. Please come in or call well before the class
as sometimes it takes a few weeks for the right foot to come in.
Most machines can use a universal foot. Machine made by Bernina or
Viking will require a special foot. Please contact your preferred
sewing machine shop for more info.
-- Thread of your choice. We will spend only a short amount of time
discussing threads and needles, so please bring what you have, and we will
learn with them.
--Bring a quilt top or two that we can discuss quilting options and thread
choices.
-- Needle: I prefer a 80 Topstitch needle, or a 70 or 80 Microtech Sharps
-- Quilt Gloves or Tacky Finger lotion
-- A machine extension table. The bigger your extension the better
and sense we are only having 6 people in this class, we should have plenty
of room for even the largest ones. If you can not get an extension
table, please bring large hard covered books (such as “coffee table”
books) that when stacked up, will measure the height of your sewing
machine bed.
--Pad of paper and pencils
