I love this technique for its freedom of movement and the rich texture it adds. It can easily be adapted to clothing or quilts. It is stunning when combined with applique. These techniques can be created on any machine that has a darning or free motion foot, and zig-zag capabilities.
A one day class focuses on the technique itself. In a two or three day class, a garment or tapestry is created. Guidance and tips for design and composition provide the groundwork, then dimensional techniques make the pattern come to life. Techniques include beading by machine, cord making, fused patchwork, applique, machine embroidery, lace making and special effects with tulle.
