Oh wow! Loved this video! I’ve just found you so I’m sure there’s much more to discover. Thank you for all the information. Until now I’ve been afraid of the couching foot…. don’t know why! Now I’m ready to use it thanks to you. 😊 Thanks so much for sharing! 💗
Thank you so much Claire, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this absolutely beautiful and gorgeous piece of art work. And I think it would make a lovely lovely bag or pouch too. It’s superb. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
That's very pretty. I'd forgotten about the 'couching' technique entirely; adds so much dimension. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate everything 🙂
This is beautiful. I am doing my thesis work on textile art and this is very Informative. I love blueish purple hues and the decorative stitching you added on
I did something like this a few days ago. I took batting and sprayed it with 505 spray. I cut out hearts from my scrap fabric free hand. I put them on the batting then I added organza on top and went over it with a wavy stitch. I did this to 2 pieces. I’m going to make a zipper bag with it.
They could be cut into shapes and hand appliqued. Or stitched onto a garment such as a patch pocket or cuff trim. They could also be sewn onto a piece of felt with a brooch pin attached. Happy stitching.
I'm from Canada and was wondering the same. Searched it and it looks like Parchment paper would work. It looks a bit thinner, so I'm going to use 2 layers. Happy crafting!
Thank you Claire for a brilliant tutorial. I am an abstract watercolour artist you’ve inspired to have a go at this. My first project using the techniques you’ve shown today will be an abstract landscape. I think I need to update my 40 year old sewing machine though. What do you recommend?
Hi Genny, I am glad it has inspired you. To be honest a 40 year old machine that has been serviced would do the job fine. I do love my Silver you can buy them direct from their warehouse silverviscount.co.uk/index.php?route=templates/contactus I am not brand loyal and there are other great machines out there. I always recommend going to your local high street sewing shop to try and buy.
I used a thin soft felt as the base fabric so it is as rigid as a shirt cuff (5). If you want more drape use a thinner base ie calico or muslin (2-4), if you want something to stand up on its own use a pelment interfacing as the base fabric (9-10). I hope that helps.
If you have a go I can recomment a layer of fine netting to keep the little bits down instead. I like the organza as it can unify the colours if they are too garish.
Hi Anna Do not use wax or freezer paper it will stick. Use parchment or a release paper. Polyester organza will melt if you iron, so not recommended. Silk organza can be iron on low, but it is not what I used. I hope that helps.

Hello Pauline from Australia, thank you for your lovely comment. Happy stitching 🧵♥️🪡
Beautiful creation. Thank you for ideas how to use.
I love this! Your colors are amazing!
Thank you for your lovely comment.
Love it!!! I've been looking to do something like this and it's been so hard to find a good instructional video to assist me with this!
So glad it has helped. Happy stitching.♥️🧵🪡
The colors and yarns are so delicious. Thanks for your lovely and informative video. I hope this New Year is good for you.
Thank you! You too! Joy.
Happy crafting.
It turned out beautiful.
Thank you.
Once you have completed these beautiful works of art - how would you attach it to a garment for embellishment?
They could be cut into shapes and hand appliqued. Or stitched onto a garment such as a patch pocket or cuff trim. They could also be sewn onto a piece of felt with a brooch pin attached. Happy stitching.
This is so cool and beautiful! 🤩
Thank you for your lovely comment. Happy crafting.
A pale champagne pink would work with the blues and purple or a light lavendar
Brilliant!
Amazing! This is waht I had in mind but no idea how to do it. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I agree. Batik is so pretty. Love your videos
Thank you for your lovely comment Laurel. Happy crafting.🪡🧵
I make rope bowls with scraps of fabric
I have made some too in the past they are good fun and handy. Do you prefer wrapping cord with fabric or making your own fabric twist cord?
I do different techniques. I make videos on the different techniques
Is the organza silk or polyester? I love this so much!
I used polyester, but you can use silk. Net also works well.
@TextilesEastFair thank ypu!
Gute Idee, Dankeschön.
Very cool
From the USA. I'm not clear what is grease proof paper. Is there something on Amazon I could use instead?
I'm from Canada and was wondering the same. Searched it and it looks like Parchment paper would work. It looks a bit thinner, so I'm going to use 2 layers. Happy crafting!
Baking parchment or any thin paper will do (not freezer paper because of the coating)
Thank you Claire for a brilliant tutorial. I am an abstract watercolour artist you’ve inspired to have a go at this. My first project using the techniques you’ve shown today will be an abstract landscape. I think I need to update my 40 year old sewing machine though. What do you recommend?

Beautiful! Do you ever use free motion when sewing on top?
Yes free motion works well too. Sometimes it is nice to check out the preset patterns as I barely use them. Happy stitching.
What kind of paper are you ironing over the scraps?
Grease proof paper. Any type of release paper or baking paper, teflon sheet will all work.
On a scale from 1 to 10 how rigid would you say the resultant fabric is?
I used a thin soft felt as the base fabric so it is as rigid as a shirt cuff (5). If you want more drape use a thinner base ie calico or muslin (2-4), if you want something to stand up on its own use a pelment interfacing as the base fabric (9-10). I hope that helps.
❤❤❤
What is grease proof paper, looks like parchment or wax paper which is it.
It is baking parchment.
i watch all your videos
I hope you have enjoyed them. Happy crafting.
i would rather see the fabric without organza because the colors stand out better
If you have a go I can recomment a layer of fine netting to keep the little bits down instead. I like the organza as it can unify the colours if they are too garish.
Waow
Você é maravilhosa! Queria você como minha professora.
In a way I am your teacher, I hope you continue to enjoy the other videos here on the channel. Happy Stitching.
@@TextilesEastFair i will definitely watch. Thanks
I love this! I dont know what is meant by grease proof paper? Is it wax paper? Freezer paper maybe? Also , can you iron organza? Or does it melt?
Hi Anna
Do not use wax or freezer paper it will stick. Use parchment or a release paper. Polyester organza will melt if you iron, so not recommended. Silk organza can be iron on low, but it is not what I used.
I hope that helps.
