Sewing Supplies

Here’s a list of items you need to get started quilting:

I’ve added a link to Amazon for most of the items … the link will take you to what I use …but you may be able to find the product cheaper at one of your local stores.  For example the Creative Grid ruler I use … is about 8 dollars cheaper at my local store.

  • Sewing Machine
  • Rotary Cutter
  • Self Healing Cutting Mat
  • Ruler 
  • Scissors
  • Thread
  • Seam Ripper
  • Quilting Pins
  • Pin Cushion
  • 1/4 Foot with guide is most helpful but not necessary
  • Iron 
  • Ironing pad or board
  • Clear Starch
  • Fabric

On the video below I show you each of these items.  If you’re viewing this in your email please visit my site to watch the video.

Sewing Machines

I currently have three sewing machines …

  1. Bernina Aurora 440 Quilters Edition
  2. Bernina Activa 230
  3. Juki TL-2010Q

Now for some history on my sewing machines…. I started with a Viking and it was a great starter machine.  But once I heard a Bernina ….. I was sold….. the machine purrs!!   (Not everyone is bothered by smells and sounds … if that’s the case any machine will do.)

My main machine is the Bernina Quilters Edition  …..  the Activa 230 is the machine I keep at the lake house (and will travel with it … it has it’s very own suitcase on wheels) and the Juki is my latest machine for super fast sewing.  It’s a simple machine and very easy to understand … it lacks a lot of bells and whistles which equals less confusion … if you know what I mean.

My Viking machine is currently living with my sister Kim ….  in the hopes that I can get her to quilt!!

If you are just getting started … my advice is start with a machine you can afford … you may fall in love or you may hate sewing.  I never regretted buying the Viking it was truly a great machine and at the time in my budget.    Another tip is look for sales … when I bought my Activa 230 …. it was on sale (I received a post card in the mail and it was perfect timing).

My favorite places to shop online for fabric and quilting supplies …..

  • Fat Quarter Shop
  • Missouri Quilt
  • Hancocks of Paducah
  • Amazon

See ya!

p.s. I’ve received some requests for purses …. and I will add it to my list of possibilities …but … a few years back I contacted two different ladies about me filming a video using their pattern (that I purchased) and they both said NO.  In my opinion it would have probably sold a lot of their patterns …but their fear was that since my video demonstrated how to make it … they would lose sales on selling their pattern.   Long story short … I’m not in a position that I can create my own patterns (it takes me a lot of trials  …. and errors to get it right) but …. if I find someone that has patterns and they’re okay with me filming a video …. I’d be happy to do so!!

    Hi Angie,
    Thanks for the extra information about quilting. I appreciate your input about what products you like to use.
    I have the go- quilt cutting machine. (I know that’s not the correct name )I am so wanting to use it but not sure yet on what batting to use . Do you have any suggestions for the batting?
    Thanks.

    Hi Angie! Are you familiar with the sewing blog Sew Sweetness? Sara does a lot of bag patterns and puts a call out for pattern testers quite often. Have you inquired with her about doing videos on her bag patterns?
