Beginning Quilting Spring 2022

                   
When learning a new craft it’s expected that you’ll need a few tools.
Quilting is no different and requires some essentials for accurate
cutting and simplified sewing.

Notion & Supplies Needed to bring to class:
If you do not have the needed supplies you can purchase at SCI prior to class.

Rotary cutter with self-healing cutting mat 
(If you want a good investment in a cutting mat, consider a travel mat which combines a cutting mat with an ironing surface) 
small travel iron, 
Highly recommended creative grids rulers
2 rulers- ( # 1 is 6.5 x 24 inches  # 2 is  6.5 x 6.5 inch ruler)
Fabric scissors, small embroidery scissors,
straight pins - (Make sure your pins are at least 1.5 – 2″ NO LONG PINS)
one heat disappearing marking pen, 
seam ripper, 1/4 inch sewing foot, regular sewing foot,
filled bobbins the color of thread you are going to use,
extra sewing machine needles, 
your sewing machine in good working order with power cord,
sewing machine tools and
your sewing machine book - this is not a class to teach you how to
use your sewing machine 
The last class you will need your sewing machines walking foot for
attaching the quilt binding.
You will need to BRING ALL ABOVE NOTIONS TO EACH CLASS! 

Fabric supplies needed: 

Fabric for piecing your blocks: 9 - 10 coordinating fat quarters, or 9-10
1/8 yard of coordinating fabric colors

Background fabric - 1 yard this is usually a solid color 

Border/lattice fabric - To be determined in class

Binding fabric - To be determined in class

Backing fabric - To be determined in class

Where fabrics are concerned the difference is quality which is the fabric weave.
High quality cotton starts with a superior product and is less likely to bleed when washed. 
Please do not pre wash your fabrics.

Thread - Highly recommended 100% cotton Thread color is your preference 
(If you choose a color of thread such as red or dark blue
this may bleed thru or show thru your beautiful quilt and you would
not want this to happen!)

1 spool of thread with 1000 yds
