Prework & Supplies needed BEFORE class. *Please read prior to attending class*

• Clean and oil your machine prior to class. Have a FRESH needle. Suggested needles include
  • Top Stitch Needle OR you can use

• The book of course! Gigi will be using the Walk Book you can purchase here.
• The Even Feed presser foot a.k.a. Walking Foot.. If you have a TL machine you will need this one. If you have a computerized machines, you will need this one.
• A marking tool. Such as a frixion pen (6-pack and 12-pack), a chaco liner, or an aqua pen.
• Curved pins or Basting Spray. Basting spray is preferred. 
• Gecko Gloves: AKA quilting gloves. I like to cut finger tips off. 
• A ruler to draw a straight line. An 18 inch ruler is a nice size and then a smaller one like 6 inches is so nice to have to create markings.

• Quilt Sandwiches 2-4 Approximately 12x18 in size with a low loft cotton batting 14x20 . Please use quality fabric such a solid Michael Miller fabric. Baste them with basting sprays. That is my preferred method. You can also use curved pins.
• Glide 40W Thread
• A seam gauge is handy to have during class too such as the magnetic sewing gauge or the swing gauge
• Blue tape is fun to have and so easy to use, but not necessary.
• A notebook, a highlighter and pen during class.
• Please make sure you have your walking foot installed and your knee lift if available for class. Get to know that foot INSTALLATION PRIOR to class.
• A cup of tea, coffee or a glass of wine to hang with me! Maybe, some jelly beans or M&M's too. :)- If you have any questions feel free to call me at 813-376-5015 and ask for Gigi.

I am super excited to teach this class because I remember the first time I made a stuffy and I did it all by myself. Too many joints to struggle with and I probably shed a tear or two, but I am here for YOU.

You will need this pattern 

Purchase the kit HERE. KIT does not include pattern.

Join Gigi and create a set of adorable mug rugs using raw-edge appliqué through the use of a blanket stitch and zig zag stitch. If you have a straight stitch machine you can use that too, but a computerized would be the first option.  An applique clear foot is suggested for computerized machines. For straight stitch machines such as the TL models a adjustable zipper foot or a shank adapter using an applique foot.

In this class, you will first learn to transfer patterns while using fusible webbing. We will also create a pieced and quilted background. Then we will start securing the designs by stitching them down while we learn to smoothly navigate those pesky corners and curves . We will purposely have patterns that allow you to work with straight lines and curves so you're exposed to different challenges.

Class includes complete step-by-step instructions (both live and prerecorded) and will be easily accessible on-demand if you are unable to make it to the live showing.

The pattern will be Christmas themed, but the instructor will also teach you how to create your own patterns that can be used with the background quilted mug rug.  3 patterns will be included: a snowman, Christmas tree and an adorable cup with saucer.

Gigi’s class is streamed on a private Facebook group so it is important that you request to enter the Facebook group after you sign up for the class. You must have a Facebook account to participate.
