I am new to art quilting. A friend and I have the same interest so we are taking learning fabric painting, thread painting, fabric stamping and more. Personally I incorporate some or all of these in a project and using fabrics of all types, threads, and more. We have dyed our own fabrics and now I personally am starting to paint on fabric. I have just purchased a new embellisher machine and also a serger which I will use to incorporate materials in my projects.
