Standard Quilting and Sewing Supplies, Including Simple Seasons Book, and:

Sewing machine with adjustable tension, capable of producing a very small zigzag stitch

Note:  If your sewing machine has a knee-lift attachment, an open-toe foot, and a spool pin adapter to position your thread upright as you sew, please bring them.  For students using Bernina sewing machines, if your model uses a bobbin with the little finger containing an eye at the end (frequently used for embroidery techniques), please bring it along.

Rotary cutter, mat, and acrylic ruler (can be shared between two people)

Size 75/11 quilting needles for your sewing machine

Ironing board with a firm surface, and an iron (travel-size or Clover mini appliqué irons work best in class situations, and can be shared between two people)

Embroidery scissors and an inexpensive pair of scissors for cutting paper

Awl or stiletto with a sharp point

.004 monofilament thread in smoke and clear (my favorite brands are YLI and Sulky Invisible Thread)

Neutral-colored sewing thread

Freezer paper and pencil (mechanical is best)

Fabric glue, water soluble and acid-free, in liquid (Quilter’s Choice by Beacon Adhesives is my favorite) and stick form
