Class Name: Walking Foot Quilting Instructor: Laura Reardon Supplies Required: (please provide brand if possible) • Hoffman Dancing Pinwheels Panel in your choice of colors • Border Fabric – borders are totally optional. If you want borders then square up your panel and sew them on prior to assembling the quilt sandwich. I attached a simple 3” border. You could also attach a pieced border to make the quilt larger. • Backing Fabric – The panel is approximately 43” x 43” without borders. If you want borders, then allow for extra yardage. You need to allow for an extra 1” minimum on all sides but will not need more than 2” on all sides for this technique. • Batting – Batting should be the same size as backing. I used one layer of Dream Select Cotton batting in the class model. • Thread – 50 wt cotton, Glide, or Isacord threads are all good choices. Choose thread in multiple colors for the top. Choose one thread to match your backing fabric for the bobbin. You may wish to wind several bobbins (depending upon the size of your bobbins) prior to class. • Sewing Needles – I used an 80/12 Microtex needle but you could also use a top stitch needle • Sewing machine and walking foot plus thread snips, seam ripper (just in case!) and any other machine supplies you think you need. • Quilting Gloves, such as Machingers, are very helpful. Before class, please baste your quilt layers together using the technique of your choice – pin or spray baste. Please remember, you will not be able to spray baste in the class room because of fumes and over-spraying which damages the tables and floor.
