Common Loon Quilts does not provide sewing machines for participants to use. Participants may provide their own machines or the workshop may be hosted in a venue where they will have access to machines. One machine per person is ideal, but most workshops can be managed with two participants sharing a machine. Hand stitching workshops and presentations/demos do not require participants to use sewing machines.
