From Sketch to Stitch with Inktense Pencils
3-Hour Workshop
10 am - 1 pm EDT, Thursday, October 15
The workshop fee includes the class pattern. Please note: Students will receive a PDF of the class pattern by email. Please print before class.
In this class, you will use the provided design to free-motion quilt it, approaching the fabric much like a sketchbook page. Free-motion quilting techniques will be demonstrated to help you build confidence.
Once the quilting is complete, the design will be coloured with Inktense pencils to add colour and depth. Several colouring and blending techniques will also be demonstrated in class.
All Levels
Students to Provide
•Sewing machine
•Free-motion quilting foot
•Small scissors for cutting threads or thread snips
The sewing machine should be clean and in perfect working order. If the sewing machine hasn’t been serviced in the past year, it would be a good idea to have it serviced before the class.
Make sure the feed-dogs can be lowered or covered for free-motion quilting.
•14” square of PFD (Prepared for Dyeing) fabric, or good quality white fabric or off-white fabric
Note: If not PFD, please pre-wash using a drop of detergent in the water to remove the sizing. Press.
•16” square Low-loft Batting of your choice
•16” square Backing of your choice
•Pins to hold the layers together or Temporary Spray Adhesive, such as Odif 505
•Charcoal or black thread for both top and bobbin – I use DecoBob, Invisafil or the Bottom Line for the bobbin and a rayon or cotton thread for the top – usually in 40 or 50 weight. Please load one bobbin with the bobbin thread before the class and have the top thread in your machine.
•A new needle in the sewing machine if you haven’t changed the needle in a while
•A few paper towels
•1 container for water
•Notebook or paper for taking notes - optional
•Mechanical pencil and eraser
•Inktense pencils – the 12-pencil set should suffice if purchasing. 24 pencils will give you more options of colours but use what you have or think you’ll use in the future.
Note: Make sure that the pencils you are using are Inktense Pencils by Derwent. Other pencils will not work.
•Aloe vera gel
•A small dish for the aloe vera
•Paint brushes: I like the brand Simply Simmons. They are my go-to brushes (easy to find and inexpensive and they last a long time). I use angular brushes in 3/8”, ¼” for smaller areas and ½” for larger areas. Round brushes work fine too as do flat brushes.
•The provided Pattern printed on 8 ½” x 11”
Note: Part of this class is on free-motion quilting. If you wear free-motion gloves, please have them handy. The same goes for any other tools you normally use when free-motion quilting.
