Time to Quilt

This is your time to work on your chosen project! This may be a new project, or one you needed help remembering what and how you were doing, or finishing a quilt with the binding. Bring all the fabrics for the project. You may bring your sewing machine or use a store machine. If using your machine, please bring the machine instruction book, new needles, and several extra bobbins.

 

• ***Please USE Mettler silk-finish thread or Aurifil thread unless you are doing decorative stitching with specialty threads.

• Please bring your basic sewing supplies or buy them here at the store(class discount). This includes thread scissors, fabric scissors, pins, seam ripper, and any rotary cutting items you need. ​

• Please call me if you have any questions – thanks, Lee Paylor 610-889-3286

Beginning Free Motion Quilting with Lee

Machine quilting is --  straight lines, wavy lines and lines in between  ! Come and

learn machine quilting on your home machine.  Learn the joy of being as one with

your machine.  Ample practice time in class to help you practice at home.

 

Supplies :

• Sewing machine, cleaned and oiled.    must be able to cover or drop the feed dogs.

• Sewing machine instruction book

• For your machine :   free motion quilting foot

•          Walking foot

• Thread scissors

• Rotary ruler  6” x 12” (don’t have this size – then bring the size you have)

• Pencil  

• Quilting gloves (must fit snugly)

• hand gel  “Made by Hand” by Mary Ellen --   I prefer this over gloves !!!

• No. 2 curved basting safety  pins

• We will share packs of quilting machine needles and then you can see what works best for you.

 

• You will need a minimum of 4 sandwiches and then  make more as you need.

• A sandwich is a piece of fabric – right side down , a layer of batting, and a top layer of fabric- right side up.   These can be pressed together or pressed and pin-basted.

• Fabric for sandwiches – a solid, either light or dark or one on each side.

• Mettler or Aurifil  cotton thread -- the color must contrast with your fabrics !

• Batting – warm and natural cotton… you want reasonably thin

• The fabric – a 1/2 yard for each sandwich :

• keep the fold in the fabric… place the batting between, and you have a

• sandwich !!!

• A yard of batting could give you 8 sandwiches, about 18” x 20”.

• Your sandwich should be about 18” x 20” – a few inches bigger or smaller will be fine.

​

Please use good quality cotton and batting --- this will make a big difference in your quilting !
