Please note: a rotary cutter is included in the above supply list as these are never supplied in the classroom.
Project ideas will be presented.
Beginning students – If you are ready to begin your sewing project on the first day of class, great. Bring your project and preshrunk fabric. If you need help determining pattern, fabric, interfacing and notions, plan to make your purchases after the first class. We will be glad to assist you with your selection. You will receive additional guidance information on the fundamentals of sewing machine operation and basic construction techniques, including fabric and pattern selection and cutting and sewing a simple pattern.
A limited number of sewing machines, sergers, cutting mats, iron stations and quilter’s rulers are available in the classroom for student use. If you wish to use sergers, an introductory class in serging is a prerequisite. If you will be using a rotary cutter, please bring that also.
If you will be in class all day, you may want to bring a bag lunch and beverage.
