Supply List

• Iron: small travel if possible hot enough to be able to fuse with (some places require auto-shutoff)
• Rotary cutters: 18 mm and 28 mm (the most practical rotary cutter available)
• Cutting mat
• Scissors: regular (embroidery optional)
• Black Ultra Fine Sharpie plus regular Fine Sharpie
• Masking tape – beige
• Pencil
• Exacto knife with fine blade
• Ironing pad to use for fusing: A Suggestion from Lenore: Make yourself a small ironing pad by cutting a piece of foam core an appropriate size for your travel bag about 12″ square and cover it with cotton batting attached with a hot glue gun on the back of the foam core.
• Waste sack (very messy technique)

Projects can be up to 30” on one side or more, a good size for a beginner’s design.

• A photo to work from for your project; color poster size print out (see instructions BELOW for poster size printing on your own computer) of your project about 30” on one side is good PLUS a small 8″ X 10″ color photo to work from; contact Lenore for more information if needed on your project design or if you need help to decide if your photo is appropriate for this type of project
• One of Lenore’s more complex patterns can also be used if you don’t have your own photo
• Muslin 2” larger than the printed out poster size of your photo
• Fabrics selected according to colors, tones, and textures in your photo – this is very important!
• Batting for inside of project sandwich
• Backing fabric to cover back of project (Lenore uses muslin)
• Border and binding fabrics
• Extra fusible web such as Misty Fuse or light weight Wonder Under – five yards at least

Sewing Machine if Time Allows (usually no sewing is accomplished in these classes)

• Various threads for top-stitching
• Walking foot for machine
• Free-motion sewing foot for machine
• Non-slip sewing gloves for free-motion top-stitching if desired

Paint brushes

• ½” angular
• ¼” angular
• 1/8″ angular
• 0 small

(Lenore gets hers at Michael’s or a craft store). Look for very very small angular brushes if you can’t find these exact numbered brushes. This is a good mix of sizes from very very small to medium; I like to have very fine brushes for detail work. Painting is demonstrated in this class. Students can begin to paint on their projects if they have finished fusing them so bring brushes if you think you might want to do this.

Lenore supplies the following: $10 required supplies fee paid in class

• Pattern
• 2 yds fusible web (Misty Fuse)
• parchment paper
• freezer paper
• fabric paints – Lenore will demonstrate how to use fabric paints in this class
