I just spoke with a friend of mine who has been invited to many museums throughout the world to view original Quillwork and has seen many many examples. He viewed both techniques of sewing through the hide and just picking up a bit of the hide. I’m sorry but the originals you have to look at are only a few of the original pieces but as I stated both techniques were used in the 18 th century.
Thank you Linda, this is an old technique that needed to be shared for the next generation. I love it!!!
Thank you Michele. Glad you enjoyed it.
WOW truly inspiring!!! I’m now working on one !!!! Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing this video!!!! Medu LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS !!!! Thank you 🌺
best video of this technique I've seen!
Can u talk more about the water...is it warm or cold water....salt or fresh? This fascinated me.
Hi Robin.I use fresh water buy I have heard of people adding salt to the water.The water is just room temp.
You made that look easy so I know your good at it....I'm going to start practicing soon...big thanks
Thanks Robin.You will get it if you practice.Good luck.
Thanks, but it has little in commen with the originals. Never stiched through the hide.
All The other stitches are not through the hide. Just the edge. I learned from all the books that teach it. Are you a quillworker ?
