This is the final in a series of “Before a Class Read” posts. I’ve been handing out homework before teaching a class and I’ve found that students are much more prepared when they do the suggested reading. Previously we covered “Fabric Selection“, “Creating a Palette for Fabric Collage,” “Sequence in Fabric Collage Part 1“, and “Sequence In Fabric Collage Part 2: Faces.”
Today we tackle Part 3 of Sequence in Fabric Collage: Using Sheers. Sheer fabrics such as netting, tulle, or organza don’t quickly spring to mind when people consider fabrics to use in fabric collage quilting. And I wouldn’t just throw them in willy-nilly at any point in the process. However, there are certain times when such fabrics can be extremely helpful. Read today’s TBT to learn when and how to use sheer fabrics in your fabric collage.
