If the LQS is giving you a list of supplies, be careful and ask here before you buy. I have a friend on a fixed income that wanted to learn to quilt. She signed up for a class and was given a list. The list totaled over $300. She didn't go to the class because she could not afford the supplies. I told her for her first quilt to get out her scissors, thread and needle and a measuring device and go for it. I also told her to do a simple block or strip pattern first. Later she purchased some of the supplies but a less expensive brand.
Remember our grandmothers did not have a LQS, they used what they had, feed/flour sacks, material left over from making garments, old clothes, etc. I have some 70+ year old quilts that are fine.
