Supply List
Sewing machine with the ability to do free-motion quilting (double check that you have a free-motion foot that works).
Fabric and batting
- At least eight, 14” x 14” squares of dark solid colored cotton fabric.
- At least eight, 14” x 14” squares of light solid colored cotton fabric.
- At least sixteen, 14” x 14” squares of fabric for quilt sandwich backing (solid or patterned, a mixture is fine)
- At least sixteen 14” x 14” squares of batting (any kind is fine but you may want to experiment with several kinds.)
Thread
Your favorite brand of quilting thread, one black spool, one white spool. Bring other colors or variegated spools to match or contrast with your fabrics. (I use 100% Long staple cotton, 3-ply, 40 wt. thread)
2 bobbins pre-wound with black, white threads
A quilt you are willing to cut up (optional)
Re-using quilts as raw materials can be liberating and challenging. We will be cutting up some of the stitch samples we create in class. But you can bring something of your own to play with too. We may even share with each other.
Needles for your machine
I use 90/14 or 100/16 topstitch needles.
Notions
Scissors, chalk marker, pins, rotary cutter, ruler, seam ripper, and any of your personal favorites.
