Thread Webs & Cording (process): Learn to create thread webs using old threads, yarns, strings, fabric scraps, and anything that can be stitched and be immersed in water. Using water soluble laundry bags, you will explore this fun and versatile technique. Finished webs can be used in wearable art, decor art, and other art pieces. You will also experiment with making cords on the sewing machine. This class requires a sewing machine capable of zigzag stitch, a universal foot (for straight stitching), and a darning foot. Your machine also should have feed dogs that can be dropped or otherwise covered up for free motion stitching and cord making.
