This is the second part of my new applique and thread art quilt project. Today's video is all about thread painting: choosing thread, choosing feet, stitching a couple of layers of stitches to get both bold and subtle details, and even fixing problems. You may find this one useful for thread painting your own quilts, even if you're working on a different project. Next time we'll continue with the rest of the quilting, and finishing touches, to give you the rest of the step by step guide to complete this project.

Disclaimer: This video is not sponsored, but I've made a complete pattern and an illustrated instruction guide for this project available on my website for a nominal fee, and I earn income if you purchase it. Also, if you use my affiliate links to purchase tools or materials, the vendors won't charge you more, but I will earn some small amount from that as well, which supports this channel.
