Sulky’s long-awaited new book is here! This full-colour book features over 25 great techniques
in a journal format that’s ideal to learn from and includes a fabulous Designer Gallery showing
gorgeous, finished examples of how each technique can be used. Practical wire-O binding
keeps it laying flat on a worktable as a ready reference. The included techniques can be
mastered easily - some have been revived and are made refreshingly new again by using
modern tools and stabilizers; most could be used on garments, quilts, or for home decorating
and “sew” much more. Create your own fabric journal or pick and choose the techniques that
interest you and simply stitch those. Each technique shows a finished Journal Page, steps to
accomplish it, supplies needed, and a stunning gallery piece for further inspiration. Some of
the gallery pieces have bonus instructions and patterns included on the CD in the back of the
book. You’ll find Free-Motion Play; Specialty Stitches; Surface Design; Thread Lace; Appliquè
