Supply list for participants:
FABRIC: Bring a variety of striped fabric for the leaves. For background fabric, bring something the stripes will show up against; lighter, darker or contrasting color. Bring one solid color for a leaf "vein". SUPPLY LIST Book; PIECED CURVES SO SIMPLE by Dale Fleming. Sewing machine with a zipper-foot. You need a zipper sewing machine foot that allows you to adjust the needle 1/16" to the left of the edge of the foot. A machine that has a 9mm wide zig-zag stitch width usually adjusts correctly with its regular zipper foot. For machines such as a Jem Gold, a generic short shank adjustable zipper foot works quite well. Other machines, such as the Bernina, an adapter is available that will make the generic short shank adjustable zipper foot fit. PLEASE CHECK YOUR MACHINE BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS.
