Quilt Wellington Symposium 2009 - Needs List

Class VIPIMO1 Adding Dimension/Manipulations  1 day $135   Tutor Vikki Pignatelli  Kitset: None   Skill Level All skill levels Needs List Fabrics--100% cotton fabrics: With this technique, you do not need fabric in large amounts-fat quarters and cuts ¼ to ½ yards are fine. Bring a ½ yard of a plain (but not a solid) fabric in a light or dark value. Bring a variety of favorite fabrics including batiks, asymmetrical prints, multicolored hand-dyed fabrics and also a few fabrics with a quiet, subtle pattern design. Include all colors in three values (light, medium and dark) with a noticeable value contrast from a distance of approx.10 ft.  Choose colors that are vivid and bright, as well as some that are tints (light), shades (dark) tones (grayed) and the deepest dark colors you have.  Bring some fun sheers (such as organza) and metallic lamé fabrics for experimentation. Sewing machine is required (one capable of machine blindstitch ---^---^---^ ) Special sewing machine feet required  Open-toe appliqué foot  Your instruction book, all feet, all cords, extension cord for those bringing own machines Needles (for sewing machine) use regular 80/12 for piecing. Stabilizer  two yards of Pellon/Vilene regular lightweight or mid-weight stabilizer (not iron-on or tear-away) (NOTE: In NZ, Vilene BO505 is apparently the closest to the Pellon Vikki uses. Vikki recommends you try pressing with iron on cotton setting, there should be NO wrinkling or shriveling.) Freezer paper  1-2 yards. Flexible curve tool (only if you have one) Threads bring a  good variety of colors for matching or blending with your fabric.  Fancy, thick threads, fibers and yarns for decorative use (A few, not a lot) Bobbin wound with gray thread. Batting  One yard. Scissors paper and fabric. Spray bottle for water. Plastic corner or blunt tool -to poke out and straighten seams Tube turning tools   (only if you have them...do not buy) Long-nose tweezers (only if you have them) Small rotary mat/cutter Straight pins (sharp!). Seam ripper and fabric marking pencil Stitch Witchery  (comes on a roll, about 5/8" wide). (Stitch witchery is not available in NZ at the time of writing. Misty Fuse or a comparable white fusible webbing can be substituted.. Note that only a small amount is needed so don't go out and buy a lot of the stuff. Semco hemming web is also a good substitute.) Wax paper (small amount...maybe 6" or so) Scotch tape, eraser, pencils, ruler, notebook Please, don't forget your nametags! Remember, no workshop project is ever a masterpiece. These are fun techniques. Please don't worry or agonize over fabric color choices. Empty your mind of all the "rules" in quilting and come ready to play and experiment!
