Fabric ‘N Thread Sketching

This is an easy way to dabble into thread painting, using the embroidery or darning foot for thread sketching AKA thread painting without worry of the fear of “messing up”! We’ll create a simple mini project or two by learning how to drop the feed dogs and doing a little free motion embroidery. Your creation can be turned into a Post Card, Mug Rug or an Art Card. You can even take this technique and apply it to your next quilt with focus blocks.
