Bits & Pieces

We provide sewing machines and all necessary tools, though you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. The machine we’ll be using is the Brother Sewing & Quilting Machine XR3774.

With the closing of JoAnne’s you may be wondering where else you can buy fabric by the yard.
Particularly cotton & flannel, here are some options:

 *Hobby Lobby – They mark their fabrics 40% off every couple of weeks so watch for the sales
*Michaels – They are starting to carry an assortment of cottons & flannel (small inventory but I think that will change over time)

 

Here are some online options:
*Hancocks of Paducah – nice selection of quilting cottons priced from $4.99 – 7.99
*Fabric & Fun – $5.00 – 8.00 a yard
*Fabric Shack – Fabric is listed by themes but they have a nice selection
*Jordan Fabrics – A little pricey but beautiful fabrics
*My Favorite Quilt Shop – Huge selection, little pricey
*Cotton Pickin – You can shop by color, little pricey but can find sales
*Michaels.com – When I checked, they had over 8,100 fabrics to choose from.

*When purchasing online, here are a few things to keep in mind:
– most online stores only allow you to purchase by the yard
– watch out for shipping costs, it can be pricey
– check shipping dates vs. class dates

It would stink to order fabric and it not be here in time for class

There is a maximum of 6 people per class, with a minimum of 2. This is a home-based business, and the address will be provided after you sign up. We are located just off Exit 33 on Highway 77.

Minimum age to take a class is 9. Because of the machines and tools we use please don’t sign your child up unless they are 9.

If you choose to bring your own tools, you will need the following::

  • Shears (scissors just for cutting fabric)
  • Straight pins
  • Pin cushion
  • Ruler
  • Tracing wheel & paper
  • Fabric marker or fabric chalk
  • Seam ripper
  • Tape measure

* You can also purchase tools from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, or Amazon.

Some projects will require you to purchase your own fabric, thread, and possibly other supplies. This info can be found under the description of each project.

Cancelation policy: If you can not attend class we need a 48 hour notice in order to refund your money. Anything less than 48 hours, you will receive class credit to use on a future class. If you are a “no show”, you forfeit a reimbursement of any kind. If we have to cancel for any reason, you will receive a full refund.

You will be required to sign a sewing waiver in order to take a class. You can find the waiver here. Please bring it with you to class.
