What will I learn?
In this class you will learn Hishaki-nui and Miru shibori stitching techniques. These Shibori techniques are stitched on the fold.
Hishaki-nui techniques make symmetrical patterns and Miru shibori patterns comprise several parallel rows of stitching to create a woodgrain effect.
Content:
– The quilters knot and the surgeons knot required for all stitched work
– How to make the Shibori starting and ending knots to create tight, crisp patterns
– How to sew different types of Shibori stitches on the fold - ori nui (teeth stitch) and maki nui (wrapped stitch)
– How to combine straight stitch and circle patterns
– How to sew the traditional Karamatsu (larch) pattern and how it can be applied to other shapes such as hexagons and hearts
– How to create motifs on the fold by combining the different shibori stitches
