Fabric & Notions: see pattern

Zipper info: Be sure to select a zipper that can be shortened with scissors or a rotary cutter. Metal zippers or molded plastic parka zippers cannot be shortened. A size #3 dressmaker zipper works well, or you can use a #4.5 byAnnie or #5 zipper by the yard.

Basic Sewing Kit

-Thread in neutral shade to match fabric: I like Aurifil 50 wt for both the quilting and bag construction

-Strong Pins

-Heavy duty fabric shears

-Thread snips

-Seam ripper

Rotary Cutting Supplies

-Rotary cutter

-Acrylic ruler - my favorite size is 4” x 14”

Misc Tools & Notions

-Clover Wonder Clips

-Clover Chaco Liner (white only!) or hera marker (for marking quilting lines)

-Clover Tailor's Awl or stiletto

-Marking pen or pencil

-Manilla file folder to trace pattern

Optional Supplies:

-Machine quilting gloves

-Roxanne Glue Baste It

Additional Notes:

-Please cut your fabrics prior to class following the directions on p. 1 of the pattern. If you are using a directional print, you may want to wait until the day class for me to show you how to make that work.

-If you feel comfortable, feel free to do the walking foot quilting prior to class. I usually quilt a diagonal cross hatch design on my quilt sandwich using a 3.0 stitch length and space my lines ½” to 1” apart. Be sure to use a walking foot or dual feed so that your layers don’t shift.
