Let’s Learn About Quilting

How to Start Quilting

I am asked questions all the time about how to start quilting and the things needed and why. I have done these posts a few times and will try to link back to those posts too. Today is a Sewing Machine

Basic Sewing Supplies
Sewing Machine
100% Cotton Fabric
Fabric Scissors
Seam Ripper
Sewing Needles
Quilting Pins
Rotary Cutter and Mat
Freezer Paper

I have NOTHING fancy in a sewing machine, I can pull it out, plug it in and sew! I have used this Brother sewing machine for over 10 years. I did have at one time a Singer in a wooden cabinet, (high school graduation gift from my folks) BUT with the last move into our little condo, I let it go ! ! ! YES, I am still dealing with letting it go… for $35.00. That even hurts to type! What was I thinking ?!?!

The first thing on the list is a sewing machine that sews a straight line, borrow one, ask around, or purchase one they are now available at large chain stores. You only need a sewing machine that does a to straight stitch. IF you do go the borrow a sewing machine routine, please set with some one for a bit and learn to thread it, adding the bobbin etc. OR have the owners manual, need to have fun with sewing, not fight with a sewing machine.

OR Hand piecing can be done too. How to HERE Everything is the same as a machine, hand stitch using the same ¼” seam allowance.
