I made up a list last month for a class I was teaching. Lets see how it loaded.
Well that did not work, lets see if I can copy and paste
BASIC QUILTING SUPPLIES
Your basic sewing kit plus;
Cutting mat ~ mid size 18 x 24
Rotary cutter 45mm
Extra blade(s)
Quilting rulers made for use with rotary cutting. Stay with ONE manufacturer
Basic rulers to start; rectangles 6 x 12; 8.5 x 24; squares; 6.5 x 6.5; 12.5 x 12.5
As you progress with quilting you will want to add other size rulers as needed.
Cotton piecing thread in neutral colors, no need to match color
Basting safety pins
Flannel backed tablecloth to layout out your blocks
*Optional
Zip lock bags, misc sizes (sandwich,1 and 2 gallon) good for storing project and pattern together, pieces cut for blocks
Quilting tape measure (approx 108” long vs. 36”)
A good reference book is a must; I highly recommend
The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide; A Rodale Quilt Book by Editor Ellen Pahl
A good beginner’s book with patterns; Start Quilting by Alex Anderson
GENERAL SEWING SUPPLIES
Machine needles (always have an extra package on hand)
General sewing thread, beige, or tan, white, light and dark grey, and black are good basic neutrals to start with.
Machine oil, small brushes (paint or makeup brushes), I also have tweezers.
Seam ripper (or two, I always misplace mine)
Screw driver, short handle to fit your machine if it did not come with one.
A GOOD pair of 8inch dressmaker’s scissors, and small pair for cutting threads (or thread snips)
A cheap pair of scissors for cutting paper and misc. items.
Package of bobbins (specific to your machine)
Pins and pin cushion (I like long thin glass head pins), glass head pins are the only ones that you can iron over.
Tape measure
Optional items you might find in my sewing kit or within reach (I use a pencil box)
Marking pen/pens; chalk pencil, disappearing blue marker, charo liner
6 inch ruler (not a quilting ruler)
Safety pins
Hand sewing needles in various sizes
Band aids
Fabric Glue stick
Post it notes
Small note pad and pen/pencil (mechanical)
Sharpie marker-Extra fine
Highlighter
Scotch tape
Thimble
Sorry it is so long :-)
