It's funny how one technique can have such a wide range of definitions. I also found one website where silk flowers were arranged on a background and then the organza placed over them. Threads also had an article once where feathers were placed on a background, then organza placed over the top and then free-motion embroidery done to quilt it all in place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971990419165815142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-41704582503505405042008-04-07T20:42:00.000-08:002008-04-07T20:42:00.000-08:00Darling project!

I haven't done much applique, but my grandmother was very skilled at it. <BR/><BR/>There's a technique much like the second technique in your comment except without the hole. Outline your area, then thread a blunt tapestry needle with lengths of yarn, pushing the fibers aside, insert the needle between them and pull the yarn into the area. Cut at the eye when you have it place as you wish. Continue until it's stuffed, then arrange the yarns (straighter looks better) and push the fibers back into place where you've put your needle through. No hole, and it's stuffed anyway. You can use different colors in the same area for a special effect, too.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-62668753809278151062008-04-07T19:57:00.000-08:002008-04-07T19:57:00.000-08:00Cool, then I can just follow your tutorials.

Some used a fashion fabric for the background with organza over the top. One source said that you outlined first, then cut a little slice in the back and stuffed with yarn fibers. But this was what was most commonly considered shadow applique.<BR/><BR/>I wish you could be here for the next unit. We're doing fabric modifications. Dying, tucking, embossing, acid-etching, broomsticking, batik wax-resist, bleaching, painting... All kinds of cool stuff. I'm going to try to do a lot of tutorials as we work our way through.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971990419165815142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855919.post-84824297821530963482008-04-07T18:18:00.000-08:002008-04-07T18:18:00.000-08:00Okay, I've never seen this before.
