Free-Motion Maple Leaf Embroidery + a Free Project for Fall
Give this Free-Motion Maple Leaf Embroidery a Try! Is it a free-motion maple leaf or a thread painted maple leaf? Sulky uses these terms somewhat interchangeably. However, thread painting is a more detailed representation of the work. Notice the layers of colors and shading put into this maple leaf, using only thread! It is done by free-motion stitching, but the technique really is thread painting. You can learn both techniques with this free project. Plus, you’ll thread-sketch a free-motion maple leaf that’s as pretty from the fabric front as the fabric back. Switch the bobbin thread color each time you switch thread colors to make the project reversible. This work…
