Wednesday was the last day with computers. Now we print the images we have been working on and start putting it all together into a quilt. We took a field trip to Ginger's Quilt Shop and looked at the fabric possibilities there. (She gave me gift bags for all of you. I'll bring them Wed.)
Next week Supply list: Digital Images in Quilts
Images printed onto fabric and set with fabric softner
Fabrics to add to quilt
Embellishments if desired example: ribbon, lace, beads, buttons, etc.
Wonder Under, Misty Fuse, Steam a Seam Light, etc. about 1 yard if planning to applique
Batting 3” to 5” bigger all around than your finished quilt ( not just the photo)
Straight pins and safety pins for basting
Needle and basting thread
Sewing thread in colors that blend with the fabrics
If you have Wonderfil Invisafil thread bring that
Glue stick
Small sharp scissors for "fussy cutting"
Paper scissors
Regular fabric scissors
Sewing machine
Machine needles size 80 or 90 a pkg of size 60 if you use Invisafil
Ruler
Rotary cutter and mat (optional)
You will not need your computer next week . If you are doing something quite small you may bring your sewing machine to sew the background and start appliqué, but you might not get that far on a larger quilt. If you will be sewing bring a free motion foot as well as a regular foot.
Now the fun begins!
