      Supplies

      General Instructions

      You probably already have most of the supplies you will need for these projects. Even so, here are a few tips on materials and tools, general assembly instructions, and embellishment and finishing tips that you may find helpful.

      Materials & Tools

      Basic Quilting Tools & Supplies

      •Scissors for paper and fabric

      •Rotary cutter and mat (optional)

      •Nonslip quilting rulers

      •Nonpermanent fabric-marking tools

      •Sewing machine

      •Walking or even-feed foot (optional)

      •Hand-sewing needles

      •Straight pins and pincushion

      •Curved safety pins for basting

      •Seam ripper

      •Steam/dry iron and ironing surface

      Fabric

      For best results, use only good quality 100 percent cotton fabric. Your time is worth it. If you are prewashing, do so with ALL of the fabrics being used. Generally, prewashing is not required in quilting.

      Batting

      Almost any low or mid-loft batting will work for these projects. For items that will be subjected to heat, such as hot pads and coasters, using one or two layers of cotton batting along with a needle-punched insulated batting is suggested.

      A needle-punched insulated batting reflects heat and cold back to the source. This breathable material has deep fibers that prevent conduction and a reflective metalized film that prevents radiant energy from passing through. Do not add this batting in anything that you will be using in the microwave.

      Walking Foot

      A walking foot attachment for your sewing machine is a very helpful tool when sewing layers, and it is useful for simple quilting patterns as well. This foot feeds the upper and lower layers of fabric through the machine at the same rate.

      Pinking Shears

      Since a lot of the projects have curved pieces that are sewn and turned, consider adding a pair of pinking shears to your toolbox if you don’t already have them.

      If you cut around curved seams with the pinking shears, you eliminate the need to clip the curves with straight-edge scissors, saving some time and effort. Pinking shears can also be used to control fraying on seam edges.

      General Assembly Instructions

      Read all instructions carefully before beginning each project.

      All seams are ¼" unless otherwise directed.

      The measurements given for each project include the outer seam allowance.

      Press each seam as you sew.

      Embroidery Embellishments

      Some of the appliqués include simple embroidery stitches to complete the embellishments. Besides the embroidery thread listed in the materials list, be sure to have a good embroidery needle with a sharp point and an elongated eye on hand.

      Transferring Patterns

      Use a sharp pencil, an air- or water-soluble pen or a heat-soluble pen to transfer or trace the lines of embroidery patterns to a project’s fabric.

      Place the pattern, printed side up, on a window or light box, and then layer the fabric on top, right side up. Trace the embroidery pattern.

      You can also use a transfer, graphite or dressmaker’s carbon paper to trace the lines.

      Place the fabric on a smooth, hard surface. Top with the transfer paper, color side down, and then the pattern. Trace over the lines with a stylus or ballpoint pen to transfer.

      Embroidery Stitches

      The following embroidery stitches have been used in this book as embellishment.

      Outline Stitch

      For the outline stitch, bring the needle and thread up at A and insert the needle at B. Keeping the thread down, bring the needle back up at C (halfway between A and B). Insert the needle at D and bring it back out at the end of B. Continue on the line, always bringing the needle out in the hole of the previous stitch and keeping the thread above the needle.

      French Knot

      To make a French knot, bring the needle and thread up at A. Hold the thread taut and wrap it around the needle twice; then pull it gently to keep the wraps snug but not too tight. Keeping the tension, insert the needle back into the fabric at B, about one thread away from position A. Push the loops down the needle to lie on top of the fabric and then pull the needle through carefully.

      Blanket Stitch
