Quilting terminology
To accurately cut using a rotary cutter, acrylic ruler, and cutting mat
How to piece your quilt

Supplies To Purchase:
For Week 1:
1 ¼ yard background print (for big squares on the front)
8 × 1/8 yard of various prints (for small squares on the front - I recommend one solid colour so the quilt doesn’t look too “busy”)

For Week 3:
2 ½ yards of backing fabric
Package of batting for a throw size quilt (60×60”)
1 spool of good quality all-purpose thread that either blends in or contrasts with your fabrics, depending on the look you like (i.e. Mettler or Guterman, no vintage or dollar store thread, please!)
For Week 4:
½ yard of fabric for binding
I Will Provide:
A printed copy of the quilt pattern
All tools and equipment
(If you need one) A sewing machine, foot pedal, empty bobbin and a walking foot. If you’re bringing your own machine, you will need a walking foot for the 3rd class. (Contact me if you need more info about this!)
Days & Times:
Wednesdays, October 7, 14, 21 and 28 from 6-9 pm
