PLEASE NOTE: If it is 7-8-2022 or after, my website no longer exists. Any patterns or PDF printouts mentioned in this video are no longer available. Sorry for any inconvenience. Currently I am still on Facebook:   / zazusstitchart   and here on YouTube:    / zazusstitchart   Here we finish up and embellish our Wall Flowers art quilts. First we make and attach a hanging sleeve. Then we make holes in the quilt, and I show some additional fabric painting. Finally we add some beading. Please join us. 0:00 Intro 0:24 Quick coverage of the SLEEVE I use for to make hanging easy & foolproof for commercial sales. It is not for challenges and competitions. I covered this sleeve in a ten minute video here: Hanging Sleeve for Irregular Bindings:    • Hanging Sleeve for Irregular Bindings | Pa...   1:40 I show the HANGING LATH I use to for the quilt and refer you a four minute video on how to make it: Pro Sewing Tips: #26 | Easy Hanging Lath for wall hangings    • Pro Sewing Tips: #26 | Easy Hanging Lath f...   2:50 INTRO ON HOLES - I end up putting 5 holes in my quilt and I show you two ways to do it. AVOID THE TOP WHERE YOUR SLEEVE IS LOCATED!! 3:57 REGULAR HOLE 1) Mark your shape with right sides together. 2) Stitch twice with small stitches. 3) Trim shape closer than 1/8 inch. 4) Turn to back. 5) Iron flat as I have. 6) Trim edges to 3/4 of an inch. 7) Press edges under like a hem. 8) Hand sew neatly. (Not shown.) 7:28 HOLE NEXT TO TRAPUNTO 1) Cut a small access hole to an area you can stuff. 2) Stuff the area. 3) Place fabric on hole area NEXT TO the trapunto; pin up from the quilt back. 4) Mark a larger hole on the quilt back. 5) Stitch twice, avoiding pins & stuffing. 6) Etc. 10:17 PAINT - I describe how I did. I use a lot of metallic fabric paints 10:59 BEADING - How I beaded the original Wall Flower art quilt. 11:48 How to HIDE YOUR KNOT by popping it into your fabric and batting. This work will bend your needle. 12:28 Tie a double knot every 5 or 6 beads and HIDE THE KNOT IN A BEAD. Tiny beads won't do this very well, but use a single thread. 13:18 UsePLIERS to pull and push the needle, but if the going is really hard, make a new plan. 13:43 The contents of my BEAD BOX: old embroidery scissors, needles, Thread Heaven, nymo thread, Vellux rectangle, needle nosed pliers, thimbles, Bead Spinner, Beam N Read, and cheaters. 15:23 I try to resolve that feeling of "It just needs something." 16:05 A big part of this process is trying new things to see if they will work. Garment sewing is extremely helpful for this kind of work.
