Jenny Lyon - The Quilt Skipper

Jenny K. Lyon Supply List.pdf

Ruler work is a great way to get accurate results with less marking, and, it’s fun. Straight line ruler work is an ideal way to try this technique without a large investment in rulers; you only need one ruler!

In this 3-hour workshop, I will show ways to incorporate straight line ruler work into your quilts. The workshop includes a kit with a pre-printed panel (with markings that wash out!) and a unique ruler that makes straight line ruler work virtually fool proof. This is a great class for a newer free motion quilter, as ruler work simplifies the process.

Kit fee - $36, includes a quilt sandwich and ruler; unique panel is pre-printed and marks will wash out. 

Supply list

 ● Your best machine for free motion quilting.

● Manual for machine. Please make sure you know how to set up your machine for free motion quilting before class.

● Ruler foot for your machine. I strongly suggest the foot made specifically for your brand of machine. Any generic ruler foot or any foot that fits a variety of brands will not be as good as the one made for your brand. They are expensive and may need to be ordered by your local quilt shop.

● Quality thread, preferred 50 or 60 weight, neutral color. If you go out and buy thread, Aurifil is a good choice, it behaves well.

● Wound bobbin (same thread choices as above).

● Extra empty bobbin.

● Size 80/12 topstitch needles for your machine.

● Scissors or snips.

● Other free motion notions that you normally use at home (gloves, slider, straight stitch plate?). Please note, I bring a small store with my favorite free motion quilting supplies, available for purchase for a reasonable cost.

● Notetaking supplies.

NOTE: The provided kit includes a quilt sandwich with a pre-printed panel (markings will wash out) and a unique straight line ruler.
