You do not need any more than your sewing machine, some fabric, thread, scissors and a marking tool to follow along with this class. However, here are some of the extra items we use throughout:
★ A rotary cutter
★ A self-healing board
★ A quilting ruler (we use a 6.5” x 13” ruler)
★ A range quilting cottons or scrap fabrics (1-1.5 metres in total if you wish to make one example of all of the blocks shown - our downloadable worksheet will help you to calculate how much fabric you would need for a larger quilt)
★ Batting or wadding fabric (four 13” squares for the samples alone - our downloadable worksheet will help you to calculate how much fabric you would need for a larger quilt)
★ Backing fabric (four 13” squares for the samples alone - our downloadable worksheet will help you to calculate how much fabric you would need for a larger quilt)
★ An air-erasable or water-soluble marker
★ Quilters pins (we like the flower head variety)
★ Basting pins or spray adhesive
★ Embroidery floss and hand sewing needle for decorative stitches
★ An iron and ironing board
★ Spray starch
★ Store bought bias binding, or extra fabric and a bias tape maker
★ Binding clips
Still can’t find downloads for any of the classes, particularly the quilting, and overlocker classes x
Hi Chrissie, if you got to the My Account page which you can find on the main menu or click here: https://www.thestitchsisters.co.uk/my-account/ then click the Downloads button they should be there. Let us know if that is not working for you.
Enjoyed class, material presented in easy to understand way, clear examples and steps. Feel less intimidated by quilting.
Thank you Rosetta, that’s wonderful to hear.
Happy Sewing !
