    If you are a quilter, you probably have most of these items already.

    • A reliable regular sewing machine (our favorite is the Babylock Brilliant)
    • A cutting mat
    • Rotary cutter
    • Thread (we like Gutterman)
    • Machine Needles (start with universal needles)
    • Fabric (you can work with stretch or non-stretch, but keep in mind that different patterns require different types of fabrics)
