30 – Sewing in details before quilting

July 17, 2018 By susan

Sewing a section of #indiaquilt. This isn’t the quilting stage yet. Here I am securing bits of fabric(they have already been fused) and also adding details. I do threadwork now before the entire piece is done because smaller sections are easier to maneuver and it will be easier to hide the starts and stops of all the colors. A wash away stabilizer is on top (looks shiny in the photo, but it will dissolve away.) #fabriccollage #fusibleapplique #handiquilter #neqmexplorations #saqawip #jaipur #susanpolansky
