make sure to take bobbins, thread, a foot pedal, and your power cord, oh and your foot. I ha.e forgot bobbins, luckily they sold prewound, have seen others forget cords and such and they live far. You'd be surprised how easy it is to forget the simple thing. Label your stuff. It all starts to look alike after a while. Make sure not to forget your mat and rotary cutter. The most important is to have fun and get the most you can out of the class. Don't be afraid to ask questions even from your classmates. Sometimes you can learn new things from them as well.
