This is what I ask my beginning student to purchase when they start quilting.
1. Olfa rotary cutter (45mm) and an Olfa mat - preferably the 24" x 36" one.
2. 6" x 24" ruler
3. 6' x 12" ruler
4. 12" square ruler
5. seam ripper
6. 4-squares-to-the-inch graph paper - This and the following couple of items can help you draw your own designs and blocks and can become the simplest way to learn to alter any size block you need.
7. 6" school ruler
8. colored pencils
9. best quilting how-to book they can afford
10. a savings account started for a beginner's class at the local quilting store.
