Bobbin Work
Here are some suggestions about what’s needed for bobbin work. I’ll be bringing back ups for most items. If you have any questions please let me know.
A sewing machine with the ability to drop the feed dogs. If you have a darning foot, zig zag foot or free motion quilting foot bring them. Also several empty bobbins will keep you from aggravation. If you have an extension table that would be nice.
Fabric stable marking pens like a Sharpie or Pigma.
90 topstitching needles or similar ones.
Threads- basically any that cause you frustration through the needle. But also any metallic machine embroidery threads, shinny rayon or polyester embroidery threads. The top thread can be any neutral light weight thread. I’ll bring some from my stash.
Fabric- some fat quarters that you might want to build a small art piece around. Or the other option is to make applique pieces to use on something in the future.
Stabilizers, etc. – iron on that you like to use. Something like stitch& tear or other non-woven type. I will bring yards so do be concerned if you don’t have any handy.
I’ll bring a few patterns to start with- like the dragon fly. But feel free to bring anything that you want to try and we can work on it.

And of course Amazon. They actually have Razzle Dazzle threads. Those are the ones I used for the heavy outlines.
