I have not been quilting very long.. But I will tell you what I have.
A Vicking Designer 1 that my mom gave me..
24 x 5 inch ruler
10 x 10 ruler
rotary cutter I like the 45 mm best ( I think I saw Fiskars at walmart for $13 the other day this is the one I have)
12 x 18 inch cutting mat
I do have a Large one like 55 or 60 inches. I think it was about 40$ with a 50% coupon at Joanns.
tape measure 2 dollars
I use netrual thread I like gutterman but just bought some from connecting treads
ALWAYS have extra needles for your machine
2 packages of pins 1 inch and 2.5 inches
Seam ripper is a MUST LOL I do use mine alot
Large and small sissors (I suggest you buy a good brand I dont know the cost because but mine were a gift)
I like spray basting the best ($7 with the coupon from Joanns
If it is your first quilt I would not buy expensive material
Check out Connecting Threads.. They have alot of clearance material starting at $3 a yard.
Oh.. I almost forgot the Iron... and Ironing board..
I think that is all for a start.. I would say if you have none of the supplies you can probably get it for under 200 dollars minus the machine. I did not spend alot of money because I didnt know if I would like doing it or not.. I am slowly building a VERY small stash. I love to sew
and I am sure I forgot something. Happy quilting. I am sure others will have alot more advice or things they use.
