Beginning Free Motion Quilting (Mon, October 19, 2026)

Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:30:00 GMT

Instructor: Chris Bauknecht

SUPPLIES FOR CLASS: Cleaned & oiled sewing machine on which you can drop the feed dogs. Some machines have a cover plate that goes over the feed dogs.

Darning Foot for your machine. There are several variations: open toe, clear plastic, closed toe. I use the open toe because it gives me the best view of my stitches and work area. If your machine came with a darning (quilting) foot, bring that one.

1 yard muslin - 45 inches side, we will be making a quilt sandwich for machine quilting, so you can cut your fabric anything close to this dimension.

1 piece of batting cut to 36" x 22" cotton or cotton blend.

About 20 size 0 or 1 quilter's safety pins. I like the curved ones best.

I spool dark thread, 50 weight, three play, cotton or polyester. Please wind 2 bobbins so you are ready to go.

Size 80 machine quilting needle, microtex/sharp, universal are second best.

Paper for taking notes and drawing.

Pencil for drawing on muslin.

Straight stitch throat plate if you have one.

In class you will learn how to choose the proper thread and needle, how to setup your machine and work area. We will learn different free motion techniques, and practice them.

Room Cleanup (Fri, October 30, 2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 19:00:00 GMT

We’d like to restore the practice of cleaning our room on months that have a fifth Friday. As you know, maintenance only takes out the trash and sweeps the floor. Any deeper cleaning is on us. The next cleaning is scheduled for Friday, October 30 after lunch. We will clean the refrigerator, wipe down cupboards, tables, chairs, etc., and any other nook or cranny where dirt and dust accumulates. We can’t potluck, but I can promise chocolate of some kind. Brownies? Ice cream sandwiches? Let us know in the comments. Many hands make light work! We will have a signup sheet in the room. Take pride in our room, our artistry, and our awesomeness!
