Required Supplies: You will need a closely basted quilt to work on. You can also opt to add hand stitching to a quilt that has been machine quilted already.
• Basted quilt. For lap quilting you will want to baste closely, 2-3” apart.
• Small scissors
• Thread (perle cotton size 8 or 12). I prefer a thinner thread (size 12 ) as it is easier to quilt with
• Variety pack of needles: Embroidery or Sharps with needle sizes between 4 and 8
• Non-permanent marking tool (chalk pencil recommended)
• Thimble that fits snug on finger tip (should not fall off when you move your hand)
• Needle threader

• Quilting hoop (optional)
I will be demonstrating lap quilting with out a hoop, but it is your preference
