choice, you can just bring various pieces of scraps. Mostly l/8 yard pieces are sufficient.

Bring
threads to match both your front side and back side fabrics. Your sewing machine must be capable of
doing zigzag or decorative stitches.
Bring all of your normal quilting supplies: ruler, mat, cutter,
scissors, iron, extension cords, tabletop ironing board (if you have
one). If you are using scraps, your
back side cutting can be scrappy, as long as you have the correct amount of
fabrics as noted above.
