Thread, bobbins, bobbin CASE (if yours is removable), specific presser foot needed for class. New needle in machine plus an extra 'just in case'. Rotary cutter, mat, ruler.

Then I lift the specific needs for the class such as pattern, book, fabric, etc.

When I teach I bring colored sticky dots. Each person gets her/his own color and initials it. That way no one gets unplugged in the middle of their project especially when doing machine embroidery which could be disasterous for the person whose machine YOU just unplugged.

I make this in a list form so they can check it off before they come to class and then check it again when they leave class.

Hope this helps.
