Supply List |
ROTARY CUTTING EQUIPMENT: Mat Favorite ruler or two (I like Omnigrid 6” x 12” and 4” x 8”) Rotary cutter GENERAL SEWING SUPPLIES: Measuring tape (I use one that is 120” long so I only have to have one, no matter how big the quilt Straight pins Seam ripper Small scissors or thread snips Extra sewing machine needles, size 80 (Schmetz microtex sharp needles work very well) Owner’s manual for your machine for reference Sewing machine — cleaned, oiled and ready to sew! |
NOTE: You won’t be quilting your “fat quarter” quilt in class, but to complete it you will need backing fabric and batting for a 26” x 30” quilt and 1/4 yard of fabric for binding. FABRIC: One fat quarter focus fabric; for instance: patriotic, Christmas, Mardi Gras 1/4 yard each of four coordinating fabrics to go with focus fabric (long quarters work better than fat quarters for this) Neutral colored thread for piecing, grey or cream depending on your fabric choices |
