If you are learning a new profession, you will likely need some tools. Quilting is no different and requires some essential requirements for precise cutting and easy sewing.

1. Sewing Machine (A basic sewing machine is all you need)
2. Sewing Machine Needles
3. Fabric
4. Fabric Scissors (Not to be used on paper so they stay sharp!)
5. Batting
6. Thread (A poly-cotton blend or 100% cotton both work fine)
7. Seam Ripper
8. Rotary Cutter
9. Pins
10. Safety Pins (for basting)
11. Masking Tape or Painters Tape (also for basting)
12. Walking Foot
13. Iron
14. Ironing Board
15. Self-Healing Cutting Mat
16. Ruler (A 6″ x 24″ clear Omnigrip is the most versatile and a great choice if you can only get one to start)
