Serger with foot control, power cord, feet and accessories to do 4 thread overlock Specialty serger foot such as lace foot or blind hem foot (Optional, but makes project easier) Size 90/14 needles Fray Check Double eyed needle (serger tool) Stiletto or bamboo stick 4 spools good quality serger thread (such as Madeira Aerolock) to match fabric 2 spools Sulky Bendables 12wt to match/contrast with fabric. (The Blendables goes on the upper looper only, however, you will need two spools to complete the project.) Rotary cutter and ruler Tweezers Pins Wonder clips or binding and hem clips Scissors for cutting fabric ¼” EZ Steam Fusible Web Tape
Fabric Amounts: •
2/3 yards of 6 different fabrics, for a total of 4 yards. I used Batiks, but any good quality 100% cotton fabrics will work. Choose medium scale prints (up to 2”), small prints, and near-solids. The fabric amount listed is generous to allow for shrinkage, straightening, and boo-boos.
To do before class: Prewash fabrics, if desired. Iron if necessary. For long foundation pieces, cut 3 strips 2 ½ x WOF from each of the 6 fabrics. (Continued on next page)
Do not trim off selvages. You will make a total of 6 foundation strip units. Each unit will be made up of three strips from the same fabric. For the short weaving strips, cut 4 strips 2 ½ x WOF from each of the 6 fabrics for a total of 24 strips. Do not trim off selvages. Please bring any left over fabric with you to class for boo-boos and test sewing.
