Stabilizer & Notions • Perfect Stick stabilizer for most embroidery ü • No-Show Mesh stabilizer for pansy embroidery ü • Tearaway Medium or Stitch-N-Ditch stabilizer for decorative stitching ü • One 1/2” x 18” strip of Steam-a-Seam2 • Embroidery hoop or hoops to fit designs of the following sizes: 62mm x 218mm (approx. 2-1/2” x 8-1/2”); 55mm x 225mm (approx. 2-1/8” x 8-3/4”); 133mm x 78mm (approx. 5-1/4” x 3-1/8”); and 64mm x 280mm (approx. 2-1/2” x 11”) ü • Small cutting mat, ruler (both at least 12” long) and rotary cutter ü • Temporary fabric marker(s) that can be seen on all of your fabrics ü • Teflon pressing sheet ü • Specialty bobbin case (Viking) or extra bobbin case (other brands) for your machine. ü Without this, you will not do the bobbin work and will not need the Pearl Crown Rayon thread listed above. • Size 80 Microtex Sharp needles ü • Size 80 Topstitch needle ü • Optional Machine Feet: ü o Open-Toe Foot o Edge-Joining or Stitch-in-the-Ditch Foot o Free-motion Foot o 1/4” Foot • General sewing supplies (scissors, pins, tweezers, seam gauge, etc.) ü • Sewing Machine and embroidery unit in good working order with manual, feet and all accessories. ü ü Items available at Dublin Sewing Center *Supply Notes 1. The flowers in Strip 1 are meant to be fussy cut from a floral fabric. I did not have any that matched well, so I embroidered the design from Strip 2 onto a cutaway stabilizer and used pieces of it instead. It is better to find floral fabric and fussy cut the flowers than to use embroidered flowers. Do not cut the flowers out prior to the class. 2. The embroidery designs will be provided for in-class use. If your machine cannot accept a design via USB stick or if you have a Designer 1 USB, contact the instructor prior to the class. 3. This class requires a hoop that can fit a 64mm x 280mm design (approx. 2-1/2” x 11”). The design cannot be split to fit smaller hoops. 4. The organza used for the pansy embroidery must be nylon.
