We have tried to include complete supply lists below the class description. Each description will refer to the instructor’s website, if available.
The past few years we have experienced damage caused by the careless use of irons in class. We therefore will ban the use of the sealing and hobby irons. Please do not bring an iron to class, except when noted in supply list. We suggest a “wooden iron” as an alternative method of pressing pieced seams.
If a class includes a kit fee, the money is payable to the instructor on the day of the class.
