Supply List for Level Up Class

Sewing machine in good working order.

Rotary cutting equipment – cutting mat, rotary cutter, rulers – these will be most helpful – 6” x 24”, Larger square.

Favorite notions – extra machine needles, extra bobbins, scissors, seam ripper. Coordinating thread.

Fabric for Argyle

Gray – 2 yards

Purple – 1 ½ yards

Aquas – I used a variety for interest and depth – 10 fat quarters, or 5 half yards, or

2 yards of one fabric

Binding – there is plenty leftover in the gray to make binding, or ½ yard

Batting – 64” x 52”

Backing – 3 yards

All By Myself quilt as you go method needs – there is enough extra yardage in the backing fabric to make matching tubes. If you want tubes to contrast with backing fabric add 1/3 yard.
