Quilting has recently become increasingly more popular in the past 30 years resulting in a huge upsurge in the number of supplies available to the quilting enthusiast. With so many wonderful tools available it can now be quite confusing to sift through what is an essential supply and what is not. Technically speaking, the modern day quilter doesn?t require more than a good sewing machine, scissors, needles and thread but the selection of these available is also enormous.
The most basic requirement will be a good, reliable sewing machine. You could technically go without a sewing machine and quilt by hand, but most people prefer the convenience that a sewing machine brings, especially for piecing together the blocks on the quilt top. When it comes to selecting a machine it is wise to purchase the best that you can afford.
