A quilting store? I've heard Joann's carries a decent material but I wanted to get your advice.

But on this particular one, I bought a charm pack (5 inch pre-cut squares in every print from the 1974 line) and a few 1/2 yards from the same line for the back. fyi - Some people prewash their fabric - but I do not. I like the vintage crinkly look I get when I wash the whole quilt at the end.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603494913454324767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-29454888301895500692009-05-09T09:37:00.000-07:002009-05-09T09:37:00.000-07:00Gwen,

For doing free-hand quilting, you need a machine that can:<br />1. lower the feeddogs (that's what feeds the fabric through your machine.) You lower (or cover) them completely so you can control where the fabric moves.<br />2. lower the presser foot half way down. Basic machines that I have used, do not offer this option.<br />3. Use a darning foot. Also called a quilting foot or free-motion foot.<br /><br />You will also need a rotary cutter, large cutting matt and clear acrylic ruler. These can all be purchased at Joann's and the like.<br /><br />For someone just getting started, I would highly recommend taking a beginner quilting class from a local quilt shop. They will tell you exactly what you should and shouldn't invest in. <br /><br />I wish I had a better set of instructions for getting started already on my sidebar. Some of the sites I link to, do have really good tutorials.<br /><br />Hope that helps a little. Good luck!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603494913454324767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-89248695436961304122009-05-08T23:49:00.000-07:002009-05-08T23:49:00.000-07:00Hi Sarah,

What machine would you recommend for a beginner whose learning how to make quilts like the one you make? What kind of supplies do you this are necessary vs. nice to have? I went to a fabric store the other day and it was very overwhelming. Any ideas?Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368197169399907066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-4205777487321125902009-05-08T20:24:00.000-07:002009-05-08T20:24:00.000-07:00Hey, Jack doesn't start kindergarten until August....Hey, Jack doesn't start kindergarten until August. :)AliceK[i]NDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340506218879565675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993076650660686412.post-80304601796064943162009-05-08T19:10:00.000-07:002009-05-08T19:10:00.000-07:00Soooo cute.
