Stitched, Cut Back and Soldered

At the Art Room we have been using lots of sheer and stitch and of course

the soldering iron is often used to cut back.

These are then made into book covers and cases.

Cut Back Sheers

Textile Tuesday at The Art Room, is always busy with lots of 'Show and Tell'.

Me demonstrating and everyone doing their own projects

or the inspiration of the day.

This Tuesday, it was Cut Back Sheers.

As you can see by the class samples above they are all different!

So, once you have layered up your sheers, threads and snippets,

you can then freemotion stitch a pattern or in areas so that you can

then use a soldering iron to burn back to reveal back to the sheers.

Health and Safety here.

 Well ventilated room. 

Make sure you have a stand for your soldering iron.

Make sure you are working on a protective surface. 

Use a tool to move the hot sheer out of the way.
