Here is my question: I'm packing up a catch-all for on the road sewing. I'm guessing this Jane will be mostly hand pieced as we are retired and travel alot. Soooooo.........................what things should I pack in my travel sewing Jane case. Here is what I have so far.
Printed out patterns on wax paper sheets.
glue stick
small scissors
aurilfil thread and small needles
fine applique pins
add-a-quarter ruler
small rotary cutter and small mat (small meaning really little, the mat is only about 6x6.)
tiny iron
folders for completed project
Dear Jane book (CD already burned to my hard drive)
What have I forgotten?
Are you going to get the Dear Jane rulers? I love mine and really couldn't live without the triangle ruler. What about printing out the schedule (found at the beginning of this thread) to check off when blocks are completed and help you keep track of what you've already done. Maybe make a couple of blocks (one that's mostly pieced and one that's mostly applique) to see if you can do it with only the supplies you've gathered.
Happy travels! And what a great project to be working on.
