Joyce Hughes WOrkshop Nov 6, 2023
Dimensional Thread Painting
November 6: 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM • Best Western, Loveland
Members: $55 • Guests: $65 (includes project fabric kit)
Optional Thread Kit: $40 for 24 spools of thread
Learn the basics of raw edge applique, dimensional thread painting and embellishment on this beautiful Hydrangea with Goldfinch wall hanging. Explore the steps, prep work and process of raw edge applique prior to the actual steps of thread painting.
Much of the workshop explores dimensional thread painting, using zig zag and straight stitching. You will use thread as paint and sew with different types of threads and color combinations. You will see the fabric come to life as you sew and layer the threads on top of your design; adding shading, highlighting, texture and definition.
Please read the supply list carefully. You will need a sewing machine and darning foot capable of doing a zig-zag stitch. For Bernina sewing machines, the BSR stitch regulator that you may use for free motion quilting does not work well for these thread painting techniques.
NOTE: Early class start time –8:30 AM to give us as much time with Joyce. The class will end at the posted time of LNCQ’s General Meeting. It is expected the meeting will start a little later. Plan to bring a bag lunch or lots of snacks so that you can have as much sewing time as possible AND attend LNCQ’s general meeting and Joyce’s lecture.
Deadline to register: When all 19 slots are filled or October 23 – whichever comes first.
