Nina Clotfelter Presents
Thread Painting
Thread Painting is many things…creating a picture, adding details, dimension, and/or depth to an applique, making fur on an animal, or just adding little details to make your creation come alive. You will learn loads of techniques in this class, and you'll learn all about stabilizers. You'll create different items using the stabilizers. This is a fabulous technique to add to your skills! You’ll be surprised how fun and forgiving Thread Painting is!!! Let yourself be warned…this is addictingly fun!!!!
