Laughing Cat Designs has a tutorial for her machine thread painting--
The basic thread painting stitch is only a free motion zigzag on the machine.
The goal is to add color where it's needed--a zigzag stitch can achieve a
painting effect with different threads--it will also highlight and shade
different parts of the piece.
Check out the rest of her tutorial on how she uses thread painting--
Give a look at Nancy Prince's website--
This is machine thread painting!! Just WOW!
We have seen many different types of thread painting at
Quilt Festivals--the quilts look likephotographs--just
unbelievable. Nancy has a photo gallery to admire
plus a tutorial--you too could do this type of thread
painting by machine.
For me, I prefer Needle painting by hand--
Mary Corbet has a excellent experiment that you can try.
Here is one of my Needle Painting embroideries--
the cartoon is from a agate geo stone--I loved the
look of the circles in various shapes
I used silk threads to feature the highlights of
the smooth surface of the stone
This was so much fun to stitch--I don't know why I
haven't done more of these--maybe, it's time to pick up
that needle and thread again to do some needle painting.
