Layer and Burn/ Stitch and Burn


Method

Get two sheets of different coloured organza and place a sheet of Bondaweb in between. Then iron over the organza to bond the organza together by melting the Bondaweb. Try to avoid it sticking to the iron. Then place the organza in an embroidery hoop , you can either hand stitch or machine stitch into it. Stitch with metallic thread to give a beautiful appearance. The more pattern and compact your design is the better the result. Once you have finished stitching, wave a heat gun over the material for a couple of seconds and watch it shrivel up. Finally you will end up with a stunning design.
Layer and burn, orange and pink organza, Bondaweb, various colours of metallic thread, embroidery hoop used, stitch: straight,zigzag. Once I burnt it, it left a couple of holes by accident so I stitched it to some thicker fabric to neaten it up. I now like my completed design.
