New ideas for creating exciting textile surfaces - for quilters and embroiderers, in this ebook on CD in PDF format. Using innovative new techniques, top quilter Annette Morgan explains how to use existing textiles combined with sheer fabrics and stitching to create sumptuous new surfaces. She shows how to play with wire frames, wrapping, stitching, burning and applique to make creative squares. Using fabric as a base for piling on texture she adds paint to give surface decoration. Here are ideas for creating textiles from fabrics and those old pieces in the attic, and for creating new from something old - exactly what the painters used to do. Learn how to experiment with wadding, to create a textile base with which to work, also how to use your own images, transfer them to fabric and transform with stitch.
