Robbins I forgot them but shop had some prewounds

The check list idea is a really good one. At my first class, I got there with my power cord and foot pedal, but I left them back the next day to get them!! I felt really stupid.

Everyone has given you excellent suggestions. The only other item I take sometimes is a small gooseneck lamp. I really like to be able to see what I'm stitching and if your in a back room for the class sometimes the lighting isn't the best. Have fun!

post it notes and blue masking tape. sometimes you do not finish and you can make a note right on your project. blue tape to mark my rulers where I need to make multiple cuts of the same size.

Oh, and enjoy your class. they are always fun. everyone eager to learn and share their experiences. the comaraderie you develope will be great.
I am going to my first retreat the beginning of december and I am soooo excited to go. the hostess .will be Eleanor Burns. How cool is that!

band aids and hand wipes - better to have and not need, than to need and not have

labeling all of one's own things is an excellent idea - just in case someone borrows an item - there is no issue about whose it is if the item isn't returned immediately!

Labeling is a very good idea. At one of our last classes a cherished pair of scissors must have gone home with somebody else & the girl never recovered them.

If you are sewing in the class I often wind several bobbins. That way if something happens and one does not work you have extras. The you are set to finish up when you get home!

I like it so much better when the supplies needed are shown in list form instead of paragraph form.

When in list form, I can more easily check off each item as I gather it - and/or write a note to myself about the item.

Nail polish or paint on scissors or rotary cutters - white not particularly attractive - is an effective way or marking items.

I wonder if one could make a mini-stencil with one's name ?
