All skill levels

Students are provided with a complimentary teaching pattern (choice of dancing star, tulip, abstract design or rose leaves).

  • Fabrics--100% cotton fabrics.  Batiks and multicolored hand-dyed fabrics. Bring a variety of favorite fabrics and include all colors in at least three values (light, medium and dark with a noticeable color contrast from a distance of approx.10 ft.)  Choose colors that are vivid and bright, as well as some that are pastel (pale), shades (dark) tones (grayed)  and the deepest dark colors.  With this technique, you do not need fabric in large amounts-½ or ¼ yards, scraps or fat quarters will do.

  • 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 and extension cord for those bringing own machines
  • Stabilizer-one to 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
  • Needles (for sewing machine) use regular 80/12 for piecing 
  • Scissors- paper and fabric
  • Spray bottle for water
  • Straight pins (sharp!)
  • Threads -bring a variety...for matching or blending the colors of flowers, leaves and background. 
  • Bobbin wound with gray thread
  • Seam ripper 
  • Stitch Witchery  only if you have it already (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.)
  • Batting  small amount  (about 20" square)
  • Scotch tape, eraser, pencils, ruler, notebook
  • Please, don't forget your nametags!

Please remember, no workshop project is ever a masterpiece. This is a fun project. You are here to relax and learn an exciting new technique so please don't worry or agonize over fabric color choices.
