Supply List:

Sewing machine Please make sure your machine is in good working condition and bring your accessory box and user manual. If you have a 1/4" quilter’s foot for your machine bring it, if you don’t have one you may want to see if one is available for your machine and order one according to your make and model – it really is almost a must for quilting and if anything it makes your like so much easier!!! Talk to the shop about this if you are confused about this foot. Make sure you have a new needle in your machine.

Ivory or light grey all purpose cotton thread. One spool is plenty and go ahead and wind two bobbins. Aurifil is my preferred thread brand.

Rotary cutters – I suggest a 60mm & a 28mm, this will give you a large one for cutting strips and then a smaller one for trimming. (if you can only get one – get the 60mm)

Rulers – I suggest the 8 1/2” x 24” ruler, see Quilter’s Cottage for my suggestion (Creative Grid) & a 12” x 1” for trimming & 6 1/2” x 6 1/2” square. We will be using several other rulers and I will discount them to you and talk about during class.

Cutting mat at least a 36” x 24” (Olfa)

Small scissors, for trimming threads

Seam ripper

Pin cushion with flat flower head pins

Book required for class-

Starting Quilting with Alex Anderson - fabric requirements listed in book

Any employee at the shop can help you pick your fabrics.  Have your fabric bought before first class. No not pre-wash it. Start with a great print for the border and match the inside pieces to accent that border print.

I look forward to our class and if you have any questions or need help please call me!
