Quilting supplies to make your life easier

Supply list:

1. Make a pressing board:

• I used a piece of plywood, 20" x 26" and covered it with cotton batting and silver ironing board fabric. Some t-shirts have pretty big logos and it is much easier if you have a nice big pressing area. These are two quilts that had some really large logos.

• Teflon pressing sheet or parchment paper.
• Faultless Iron cleaner and an old towel. http://www.faultless.com/
• Graph paper to plan your quilt
• Colored pencils and repositionable double sided tape: Glues & Adhesives Permanent Easy Stick® Adhesive Rollers at http://www.duckproducts.com/
• Rotary cutting mat. Find this at fabric and quilt stores don't get smaller than 18".
• Medium size rotary cutter. 45mm Rotary Cutter (RTY-2/G) olfa.com
• 6" x 24" acrylic ruler
• 16" square acrylic ruler - optional but nice to have if you lave lots of t-shirts.

That's all for now. Next intallment will be about the basic steps 1-9 and some recommended books and patterns.
