Students bring from home
- 12-inches by 12-inches blending tone on tone color of quilters’ weight cotton fabric. No batiks. Avoid dark value fabric and large or small repetitive pattern fabric
- Cut the “batting layer” (light colored flannel or thin cotton batting) 2-inches longer and wider than the fabric, 14-inches by 14-inches. Center the fabric on the “batting” for basting so that you have 1 extra inch of “batting” on all sides. Hand baste the two layers together, without a quilt backing. Baste in an approximate 3-inch grid.
- Fabric and batting basted together as above
- A few straight pins
- Small sharp scissors or embroidery scissors
- Paper scissors
- 6, 7, or 8-inch embroidery hoop
- Glasses if needed for handwork
