Quilting tips #20 Thread painting with floss - how to make scrappy projects look great

It is fun, it is easy and it will add extra detail to any quilted project. Thread painting is great to embellish plain blocks or add extra design to the layout. It will also add a bit of sturdiness. I have been using this method successfully with bags, pouches and book covers so far and I am sure there will be more opportunities in the future. Have a go and have fun! Happy sewing everyone.
