Line Dancing – working with line

Monday, September 29, 2008

 

SUPPLY FEE: $5

 

SUPPLY LIST (please check the second page, too) Don’t let the length of this list dismay you. You know you’ll be working with a group of like minded people who’ll be willing to share if there’s something you’ve forgotten!

 

Sewing and Fabric Supplies:

¨Sewing machine in good order (oil it and have it serviced before class). We will be free motion sewing, so you need a machine whose feed dogs can be lowered or covered.

¨Darning foot (or whatever attachment you like to use for free motion sewing)

¨Extra needles

¨Bobbins- one wound with white thread, one with black. If you have Bottom Line thread or other high quality bobbin thread, use that

¨Straight pins

¨Scissors (both paper scissors and fabric scissors)

¨Rotary cutter, straight edge ruler, and mat

¨Thread – one spool each of good quality black and white piecing weight thread; if you have room, throw in some other colors as well (see Optional Supplies)

¨Solid white cotton broadcloth (or other quilt weight cotton) Buy tightly woven white cloth – test it by laying it on top of black cloth; you don’t want the white fabric to be greyed by the black fabric underneath

Precut for class:

6 pieces, each 9 x 12”

1 piece, 11 X 17”

2 pieces, 18 X 24”

And bring extra, just in case you want a “do-over”

¨Solid black cotton broadcloth (or other quilt weight cotton)

Precut for class:

1 piece, 11 x 17”

1 piece, 18 x 24”

 And bring extra, just in case you want a “do-over”

¨Thin batting, suitable for machine quilting, such as Warm and Natural

 3 pieces cut to approximately 9 x 12 “

 1 piece, cut to approximately 18 x 24”

¨Steam a Seam 2 (if you have a  favorite double-sided fabric adhesive you like using, you may substitute; I think SaS2 is the easiest to use for these exercises)

Precut for class:

2 pieces, 11 x 17”

And bring extra, just in case you want a “do-over”

 

 

 

Other Stuff You’ll Need:

¨Unlined white paper, such as computer printer paper; about 15 sheets

¨#2 Pencil and sharpener

¨Tape: Masking tape and clear cellophane tape

¨Glue stick

¨Uncommon senses: sense of humor, sense of adventure

q       Binoculars, reducing glass, or other means to look at your composition and make it appear further away (if you’re not bringing a digital camera)
