For the second class: you will need your #37D, #57D, or your #97D for the construction of the blocks and the quilt. Fabric – 7/8 yard of dark for the decorative stitches 1 1/8 yards of the print that you will be using for blocks and borders. 1 ¼ - 1 ½ yards for backing if you wish to make separate binding you will need ½ yard extra for binding. Stabilizer –Ultra Clean ‘n’ Tear for the stabilizer. For some of the stitches you might need two layers. If you have long pieces of this stabilizer that are scrap,s you will want to bring them as we may be able to use them for this project. You will need approx 3 – 6 yards for this project Scissors for clipping threads
