What to bring with you

Many quilters prefer to bring their own sewing machines but we also have several machines here you tcan use. We do ask you to bring your own rotary cutter, scissors, pins and machine needles - and please be sure to bring your machine manual if bringing your own machine! Apart from a couple of rolls of wadding and cushions pads - we do not sell fabrics, threads or other materials so try and bring these with you. If you run short you are welcome to delve into Chris’s stash of fabrics and threads, or there are a couple of quilting shops not too far away. Other than sewing supplies - don’t forget your slippers if you are comfier wearing them, sensible shoes if you want to walk and a bottle if you want a nightcap!
