Friday 08 May 2020: Online Tutorial (Appliqué) (1)

Janet Clare - Friday 08 May 2020

Online Interactive Course: Appliquéd Running Duck

Janet loves to work with fabrics & threads in a soft-colour palette, combining them with appliqué, free machine drawing, hand embroidery and hand-quilting to create small textile artworks and quilts. In this fun Zoom workshop (her first!) we’ll be using all Janet's favourite techniques to create a little Runner Duck textile picture which is ready to be framed and hung on the wall. Honestly, no real life-drawing skills are required! Techniques covered are as follows:-

Fusible appliqué 

Free motion stitching

Designing your own hand quilting templates

Layering up

Hand quilting

adding backing

Mounting onto card ready for a frame

​

For this Online Interactive Tutorial you will need the following equipment:-

• Sewing machine with free motion or darning foot, feed dogs down, dark thread (polyester if you have it)
• Iron and ironing board
• Usual sewing supplies
• Water soluble/ removable pen

The following are also needed:-

• Calico/plain fabric to practise on, plus spare wadding
• Pale fabric for the appliqué background
• Scraps for the duck
• Fusible web (eg Bondaweb), steam a seam, etc
• Wadding scrap (same size as background) low loft (thin) if possible
• Backing fabric

​We look forward to creating with you!...
