New Ideas in Fusing Fabric

New Ideas in Fusing Fabric by Margaret Beal offers a creative approach to textile art through fusing fabric and related techniques. It shows how cutting, bonding and mark-making can be used to create new effects, textures and structures, with a strong focus on synthetic materials such as Evalon, Lutradur and polymetallic materials. The book combines traditional embroidery and sewing techniques with experimental methods including drawn thread work, inserts, patchwork, seams and layering. You will see how to distort surfaces, build texture and create three-dimensional textile pieces with a distinctive character. Clear explanations and inspiring examples make this an excellent choice if you are an experienced maker, textile artist or fashion designer looking to deepen your technique. Ambitious hobbyists who enjoy experimenting with fabric by the metre, innovative materials and surface design will also find plenty of ideas here. A valuable book for anyone who wants to approach textiles in a fresh way.
