Description:

Frequently, the appeal of a particular sewing project is greatly influenced by the fabric itself, and the appeal of the fabric is often linked to its visual and physical texture. On the Surface explores a unique approach to embellishing fabric surfaces with multiple layers of various threads. Even a beginning sewer can master the simple technique, which basically requires only a straight-stitch sewing machine, fabric, and thread. Stitching many times over the fabric surface and then washing the fabric yields fascinating and often complex-looking material, which can be used in a variety of ways. The first half of this well-presented book explains how to create the fabrics; the second half offers instructions for projects that utilize these creations in such projects as quilts, pillows, vests, jackets, jumpers, place mats, and accessories. The results, surprisingly easy to achieve, are wonderfully colorful and sophisticated. --Amy Handy
