  NEEDLES:  

  • Hand needles: John James Long Darners
  • Machine needles: Size 75 "Quilting" type needles

                      OTHER SUPPLIES:

  • Well-adjusted sewing machine with which you have a good relationship — remember to pack your snap-on or free-standing extension table, the manual that came with your machine and a telephone book to sit on (or bring a pillow, if you are a delicate flower — six hours on a telephone book can be hard in more ways than one)
  • Masking tape
  • Darning foot (if you use a "Big Foot", bring it, but be sure to pack any other darning feet you may own!) If you’ve never used a darning foot before, try to get one from the manufacturer of your sewing machine, it will work better than a "generic" foot.
  • Applique foot (#20 for Bernina owners)
  • Walking foot
  • At least six EMPTY bobbins. 
  • Sewing Machine Oil (even if your machine shouldn’t be oiled – we’ll be using it for something different!)
  • Cotton Swabs (not Q tips brand – buy the cheap store-brand ones, they’re better!)
  • Chenille Sticks or Stems (they look like pipe cleaners. You’ll find them in a craft store)
  • notepad and Pencil
  • small Scissors or thread snips
  • the little tiny screwdriver that came with your sewing machine

                      RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED:

                      A second bobbin case. If you don't already own one, don't go out and buy one.
