Distant Stitch - Module 4 Chapter 6, Ideas to Decorate the Drawn Fabric

Row 1 - three silk ribbons are woven in a simple staggered pattern of under 2 threads, over 4.

Row 2 - the same silk ribbon is taken under groups of threads and tied in knots.

Row 3 - machine thread is twisted around groups of threads and taken on to the next group of threads.

Row 4 – a nubby wool yarn is stitched in a Herringbone pattern around groups of threads.

Row 5 - pine needles are woven through the threads in a random pattern.

Row 6 – a fabric strip is loosely woven, forming loops on the surface of the scrim.

Row 7 – brass wire is woven and twisted into loops (this row may not show up too clearly in the photograph).

Row 8 – eight strands of floss are woven under four threads along the linen scrim; a floss loop was made in the center, which is knotted and the threads cut to form a tassel.

Row 9 – pieces of plastic straw are placed under groups of threads. The straw pieces are covered with dyed tissue paper, for a more attractive look.

Row 10 – feathers are woven in the scrim.

Row 11 – Loops are made with a string of bugle beads loosely woven through the vertical treads.
