Skill Level

Advanced-Beginner and Intermediate

There is an additional charge of $NZ20.00 to be paid to the tutor for a kit containing the asterisked items below. (DO NOT purchase these items.)

SUPPLIES (* will be in supplied kit.)

  • *See-thru plastic template material with or without grid.

  • *Extra fine-point permanent marker.
  • *Method to mark dark fabric (consider a white/light-color extra fine-point permanent gel pen)
  • Template scissors. Template scissor should not be the discarded kitchen shears or shaped for a five-year-old's hand. It is the essential, indispensable tool from which all other acts follow. I use OlfasCS-1 multipurpose scissors.
  • Fabric scissors and/or rotary cutting set-up
  • Fine pins 
  • Sewing machine 
  • General sewing supplies

FABRIC

  • Please note: sashing, binding and accent-border fabrics are not needed during a one day class since it is best to audition options as the quilt develops a personality. Therefore, you only need to bring 2 yards of the featured fabric (with an 8"-12" repeat, more with a larger repeat).  

  • The featured fabric must be a multi-colored, bilaterally symmetrical cotton fabric with multiple repeats. The more colorful, the better (meaning, the more different colors used in the print, i.e., a fabric printed with 12 colors gets better results than one with 5 colors),  A bilaterally symmetrical motif can be divided into identical halves by a line passing through the center. When the pattern on one side of the line is flipped over along this line and superimposed on the other side, the match is identical. View examples of Madame Butterfly (OPULENCE) or Cathedral Windows, Tiffany or Marble patterns (LUMINOSITY) at www.paulanadelstern.com.  Yardage requirements depend on chosen lay-out by each student.
