TASTER: Café Loops with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Textile Art) • Educational, G, 01-May-2013
These are very simple to make and the size will depend a little on the size of the project you are trying to hang. You can use them to hang quilts. But I would suggest you make the loops bigger and more of them so that the weight is distributed more evenly. With this type of hanging system, you would expect to have a nice pole or similar which is on show.
Our paid subscribed viewers have access to workshop notes.
In addition, there is a workshop on using bobbin thread to create the couched effect detailing the outside of the trees. Click here to view.
