Free Motion Quilting with Christina Cameli
Free motion class using your domestic machine taught by quilting author Christina Cameli.
Required supplies
• Sewing machine: be sure the machine is clean and tuned. Please remember your bobbin, foot pedal and power cord! Also bring the instructions for your sewing machine if you have them.
• Free motion foot or darning foot to fit your machine
• Extension table for your sewing machine, if you have one
• Thread (I recommend Aurifil 50 weight or Superior threads, choose a color to contrast a bit with your fat quarters)
• A fresh sewing machine needle (I recommend a Quilting needle, size 90/14)
• Quilting gloves (I use Fons and Porter quilting gloves)
• Curved basting pins (package of 100. Or, if you prefer, you can use spray baste at home, but no spray basting in the classroom please.)
• Small scissors • Temporary fabric marker
• Notebook and pen for sketching quilting designs
• Fabric (use one of each to make each practice quilt sandwich)
• 3 fat quarters (18" x 20" or so, solids are best for visibility)
• 3 pieces of batting 20” x 24” each
• 3 pieces of muslin 20” x 24” each
Optional supplies
• Book: First Steps to Free-Motion Quilting by Christina Cameli.
Other considerations
• Sometimes quilters need to sit up a little higher for comfortable free-motion quilting. Bring a firm pillow (or a folded up quilt!) to sit on if you would like this option.
• I will demonstrate basting during class and give you time to baste in class as well, but if you prefer you may baste your quilt sandwiches at home. Most quilters use 2 practice quilt sandwiches in the class but some will use all 3.
• Consider bringing water and a snack.
• Feel free to bring a quilt top you would like advice on quilting!
