Thread Lace with Karen Middleton

Dive into the technique of Thread Lace (also known as thread weaving or sculptural embroidery) using free-motion stitching on water-soluble stabilizer. Students will learn to stitch directly onto stabilizer, then dissolve it to reveal delicate, floating threads. While wet, the threads can be sculpted into three-dimensional forms, or allowed to dry and trimmed into shapes for quilt embellishment. This hands-on workshop emphasizes technique familiarization, texture exploration, and creative surface design.

NOTE: This is a technique-based class, designed to let students explore and dip their toes into surface design and art quilting.

We will supply all the things you'll need to complete this class but bring your sewing machine, your free motion foot and some fun thread (or buy some here) if you'd like.
