One Fish, Two Fish - Freemotion Embroidery
6 hr workshop
Skill Level: Confident Beginner to Intermediate Machine Quilter

Kit fee: $3


Supply List

  • Sewing machine with ability to drop the feed dogs
  • Freemotion/Darning foot. If purchasing a new foot consider buying an open toe or ”C” shaped presser foot, being able to see the needle while stitching is a huge advantage.
  • Extension table to fit your machine (if you have one) 
  • Cushion or pillow to sit on, it helps to be sitting a bit higher
  • A wide assortment of threads - I used a 12 wt cotton for outlining the fish and plants. For 
    fillers and background stitching I used variegated rayon, gold metallic, variegated Polyneon 
    and metallic, solid coloured rayons and matching cotton or polyester thread for the bobbin.
  • Sewing machine needles - 80/12 Embroidery, Topstitching and Metafil (if using metallic threads)
  • Extra bobbins

    6 - 8½" x 11" pieces of low loft batting
