MAKING RIPPLES – CHENILLE OR SLASHED REVERSE APPLIQUE
This is a scan of the star shape after I had machine stitched all the ripple lines, before I did any cutting. The stitching is a double row of ordinary machine straight stitch.
This is a second scan after I had done the slashing in between the rows of stitching.
And the final result after I had rubbed the edges of the slashing with my hands and then used a small brush with brass bristles designed for cleaning suede shoes!
Detail of the effect.
I really enjoyed doing this piece. I had six layers of fabrics and the contrast in the colours of the fabrics helped improve the effect I think.
