What To Bring
You will need to bring your sewing machine, hand book, extension table if you have one. Needles, size 90 for quilting, spare bobbins & machine quilting thread is weight 50 or 40. (I explain in more detail about needles & thread on the day, so just bring what you have if you don't have that)
Some 10-12" squares of wadding & plain 100% cotton tacked / sandwiched together for practicing on. You can use temporary spray adhesive or tacking thread & basting pins to do this
Walking foot, a free machine embroidery foot or free motion quilting foot.
(If you don't have a walking foot, I can recommend Exeter Sewing machines. Ring Chris & give him your machine model number & he will help you out.)
Note book & pencil & pen.
Fabric marking pencil or pen.
Scissors.
Don't forget I sell Cotton, wadding & threads & other paraphernalia in the shop.
Water bottle to keep hydrated (quilting is thirsty work) We do provide caffeine & non caffeine hot drinks however! A packed lunch or pocket money for one of our fabulous independent cafes in town.
