Bold Needle Threads Supply List
Impact with big decorative threads stitched through the needle can be easily achieved! Learn how to adjust your machine, choose needles, and select stitch patterns to get stunning results with these threads. In class we’ll practice on stabilized fabric to learn about threads and machines. After class you’ll have the ability to decorate fabric and quilt quilts with a new array of beautiful threads. Kits of fabric, stabilizer, fusible and three heavy decorative threads may be purchased in class for about $23.
A zig-zag machine is a must, but a “top-of-the-line” model is not necessary. Guild sponsored classes require that you bring your own sewing machine. Some quilt shows, however, arrange for sewing machine companies to provide machines. Please check with the class organizer to determine if a machine will be provided or if one may be rented. If you're using a provided machine items with an "*" are not needed, but if you're bringing your own machine please also bring items marked with an "*":
