  January 27

Workshop-Friday
:  Table Runner in Cotton Theory (9 am-4 pm)
Class fee:  $30-members / $45-non-members + kit fee

Supply List:

Because you will be sewing on a precut kit, your supply list is minimal.     
You will need the following:

1)     Your best sewing machine in good working order. 

Cotton Theory offers great opportunities for you to use your decorative stitches and your embroidery machine.

2)     Walking foot - if you have one 

3)     Your sewing machine manual

(Just in case you don’t remember how to change a setting on your machine!)                

4)     A couple of empty bobbins

5)     Sharp scissors

(I’ll bring Cotton Theory scissors for you to try.  You may fall in love with them as I have.)

6)     1” X 6” ruler

7)     Sturdy sharp pins (I use Clover silk pins)  

8)     90/14 topstitch needle

9)     Cotton Theory Adhesive Quilting Guide   (I’ll bring them in case you don’t have one.) 

10) Cotton Theory pattern or booklet for the project you will be creating.

*Please leave at home…your rotary cutter & mat and your perfume as many people are allergic!
