2022 Winter Rustic Log Cabin Supply List
Quilting supplies are simple. Listed are the essential needs for this class and a second list of tools you might find useful.
-
Sewing Machine: Any sewing machine will be fine as long as it is in good working condition. Please have a new needle in your machine and a couple to spare in case one breaks.
-
Pattern: We are using a Free and Easy Log Cabin pattern from scrapish.com.

PLEASE CHECK TO SEE THE UPDATED FABRIC NEEDS -
Fabric: The amount of fabric needed is posted on Fabric and Pattern Needs page. CHECK FOR FABRIC UPDATES
-
Cutting Mat: A cutting mat that is designed to work with a rotary cutter. A medium or large size works best. Small mats are usually too small to cut large fabrics. They work well for squaring up or sub-cutting.
-
Rotary Cutter: Have your rotary cutter loaded with a fresh blade. The best ones for this quilt use a 45mm blade.
-
Ruler: A good basic acrylic ruler made for cutting with a rotary cutter is 6 x 18 inches. Feel free to use any other size if you already have one. Just a note: a small 1-2″x 6″ is too small to help you for this quilt.
-
Thread: It can be any thread. Some people prefer to use 100% cotton thread, but it is a myth that polyester thread will eventually cut your fabric. Check out Superior Thread’s “Therapy” for information on threads and needles (https://www.superiorthreads.com/videos-thread-therapy). Most important is a good basic neutral color that will work well with your fabric, white, off-white, gray or black. We will talk about the thread for quilting (top-stitching) your quilt in our second class.
-
Scissors: Small clipping or embroidery scissors will be needed for cutting threads as you sew.
