Supplies needed: Acrylic dabbers, photocopy of an image, water spritzer bottle, paintbrush, card stock, craft sheet and heat tool (optional) Take the lid off the dabbers and brush the paint onto the card stock, ensure you get a good coverage Take your photocopied image ( remember that you will get a reverse of the image, so don't use bold words), flip it over and place it in the acrylic. Lightly press it down making sure it's smooth and not wrinkled Leave to air dry for at least 15 minutes and then if you wish give it a blast with the heat tool Only move onto this step when you are sure your paint is completely dry Take your water filled spritzer bottle, spray the back of the paper no more than two squirts, you don't want it too wet Next start to rub the paper very gently with your finger Keep rubbing and extra spritzing if you need too Eventually you will get rid of all the paper, but it does take a bit of patience as you have to be careful not to wet it too much and rub the image away You can do exactly the same on a canvas Apparently the paint in the acrylic dabbers is slightly different to other acrylics as it is more chalky and that's why the transfers work best with these paints. But you can use other mediums. I tried it with Jo Sonia's background paints but didn't get such a good effect

We have learned about the proper tools and correct supplies, how to Thread Paint using a basic meander zigzag, add detail with a basic straight stitch, and last week we learned how to expand on the zigzag stitch by using it directionally. However, there are times when a piece needs to be thread painted, but the zigzag stitches just don't fit in with the feel of the piece and it needs a bit more than detail work. Directional Straight Stitch I call this a directional stitch because it uses a very purposeful direction in the stitch in order to get the look we are after. With this stitch we can accomplish both painting with thread to apply the colors we want, and control the shape and add motion to the piece. As with the detail lines, we use our 'S' curves rather than a straight line. By adding many more lines of stitching we build up the thread painting adding color just as we did with the zigzag stitching. Remember that these lines are not always an S but they always have at least a bit of a curve in them. This will help to shape our pieces and give them a more natural appearance. Straight Stitch Thread Painting In some cases, we don't really want to build color up from shadows as we have in the past, but just to add color to liven up a piece. In the sample below, the color additions liven up the foliage. Most of the time we backtrack along the stitch line and then branch off for more stitch lines. I can also carefully travel a few stitches along a seam line or the base of the applique piece to the next position, and then continue Thread Painting. Another method, especially useful when many lines of stitching are on a piece, is to not quite follow all the way along your stitch line when backtracking and end up an eighth to a quarter of an inch away from your start point. These techniques allow you to travel along an applique piece without it being too noticeable. Adding Motion By adding long lines of thread painted color, we also add motion to our pieces. In the case of the Flower Bowl below, we have room to add long curvy lines to give the effect of a flower petal that has curve and flow. Notice some of the darker contrasting thread colors that emphasize these curving lines. Building Color Our colors are built using the same methods as before, we are just using the straight stitch. Add your cool tones and shadows first, working your way up through mid tones, and then lights and highlights. Homework: Play with this expanded version of the straight stitch and practice building color and thread up. Remember to practice traveling and the S curve. Next week - Final Installment Examples of combining stitches, and a review of what we have learned in this series.
