" What supplies are needed for hand quilting?" Since I am a traditional quilting "purist", there will be no rotary cutter found on the list below. Please don't misunderstand me, I do own a rotary cutter and even a nice Baby Lock machine. And sometimes I even use them! LOL
My students begin with traditional supplies while I provide them with a strong foundation of accurate measuring, basic piecing, applique and template making. The supplies and tools listed below are necessary for my Hand Quilting Class. I listed everything here except the fabric requirements. On the first day of class I always introduce and review each tool and how it will be used. I hope you can find a Hand Quilting instructor in your area.
- Mechanical pencils
- Fabric scissors
- Utility scissors
- Permanent- White pencil - for dark fabrics,
- Non-permanent- Wash-out pencil/blue water erasable pen/ chalk white pencil
- Sand paper board ( I’ll explain this in class)
- Piecing thread – match fabrics, or neutral.
- Piecing thread to match fabric for appliqué.
- Contrasting quilting thread.
- Thimble- Coin thimble by Clover.
- See thru gridded ruler – Omnigrid
- Sewing needles – short betweens #9 or #10
- Pins with colored heads.
