Wearable Art through Free-Motion Stitching
Sherry Haar · Clothing and Textiles Research Journal · 2004
Wearable art forms provide a canvas for the artistic application of materials and thread through free-motion stitching. The aesthetic effects range from a simple meandering line to complex layers of color, line, shape, and texture. The conventional sewing machine is used with the feed dogs disengaged, allowing the designer to control the movement of fabric and resulting stitches. The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of creating wearable art using methods of free-motion stitching.
