Level: Experienced Beginner
Skills needed: you should know how to cut fabric with a rotary cutter, sew a 1/4” seam, and square up.

Tool Requirements:

• Sewing machine in good working order, with a new needle (extra needles, if needed). Please remember the foot pedal and power cord!
• ¼” foot or tape to mark a ¼” guide line on the machine
• Rotary cutter, with a new blade (extra blades, if needed)
• Pins and needles, pin cushion
• Thread
• Scissors and/or snips
• Cutting ruler (12”)
• Squaring ruler
• Creative Grids 8” Crazier Eight template set (has 5 pieces), including instructions
• Seam ripper
• Marking tools
• Fabric labeling tools (sticky notes, alpha-labeled binder clips, Alphabitties, etc)
• Note taking materials (eg., notebook, paper, pen/pencil)

Fabric Requirements:

• Ten 10” fabric squares (vary fabric colors)

Prep work before class:

• Lightly starch each 10” square with a dry iron — use Best Press or equivalent. The light starch will keep the angles from stretching when handling and sewing. The emphasis here is light starch since this shrinks fabric and there should not be too much shrinkage.

Fabric needed to finish:

Batting

Binding fabric ⅓ yd

Backing fabric 1⅓ yd
