"Texture Magic"!
Now, for those of you who are not familiar with this (as with me) it is a product that "Magically texturizes your fabric using only your steam iron!" It shirnks the fabric 30% in all directions.
Just apply it to your fabric and the steam does the rest. Not sure if the picture posted below will show the before and after cearly enought, but it sure does look like a kick to use.
If by chance anyone here on the QB has used this would you be so kind as to post a picture of what you have made with Texture Magic.
Betty mentioned that she has not yet used it either and we both sure could use any suggestions as to what to make. Betty did say that the demonstrator had made a design, perhaps a flower, and then applied it to a purse. From what she said it was really cute.
Texture Magic is so much fun to work with. I took a class in making a purse with removable flaps. On one of the flaps I used a floral fabric with texture magic. It came out very cute but I can't get my camera to show the texture. (Or maybe the camera operator doesn't know how...). Before "activating" the texture magic, I free motion quilted around any of the floral fabric that I wanted to puff out, for example each individual flower petal on the big flowers, each leaf, and each tiny flower. Anything surrounded by the free motion quilting "puffed out". Very easy to do. Excuse the pics - the purse is not finished yet, still need to line it, attach handles, and make more flaps!
