SUPPLY
FEE: $5
BASIC
SUPPLIES:
q Rotary cutter
with new or sharpened blades
q Cutting mat
- if you have many sizes at home, bring a large mat to class.
q Sewing machine
- If your machine doesn't have a setting for moving the needle position, bring
some masking tape to mark a guide on the machine bed.
q Extra sewing machine needles
q Extra bobbin
q Scissors
q Seam ripper
q Straight pins
q Thread
to blend with fabric
q White pencil
(I like General's Charcoal White, found at art supply stores)
q Pencil and paper
for taking notes
q Uncommon senses: sense of humor,
sense of adventure
FABRIC:
q For
the small quilt top: A selection of fabric, each length about 3/4 to 1 yard.
These lengths of fabric should contrast with each other in hue or value or
both. It would be best if they change hues or values over the surface of the
fabric (hand-dyed fabric works well). It's hard to know in advance what you'll
choose to use in class, so pack as much as you're comfortable lugging around.
Plan on bringing at least 4 to 6 pieces of ¾ to 1 yard lengths.
q For
practice: a couple of fat quarters of good quality cotton quilt-weight fabric
OPTIONAL:
q Extension
cord
q Binoculars,
camera, reducing glass, or other tool for getting distance from your
composition. I use my digital camera.
q Portable
design wall
q Masking
tape
q Chocolate
for those moments you discover you’ve sewn the wrong pieces together
