Create fabulous fabric textures and effects using this simple technique. The requirements are minimal: Your Fabric Choice plus Solufleece & Bondaweb.<\/p>\n

Remove the backing paper from Bondaweb and sandwich it between a similar sized piece of Solufleece & the fabric of your choice on the top layer. Put in a hoop. Stitch within the hoop \u2013 either randomly or evenly. Be sure to experiment with the width of your stitch lines \u2013 different widths give completely different textures.<\/p>\n

Hover a steam iron over the work (remember \u2013 don\u2019t touch it, just hover above) & watch the instant results. Stunning effects!<\/p>\n

Purchase The Components Here<\/a> \u2013 Reduced Prices Currently Available.<\/p>\n

Combine with paints, beads, dyes etc. for truly creative work. Different textures\/designs can be created by varying the stitch widths.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the fabric has been steamed\/crashed it should be left to cool for 30 \u2013 60 minutes. After which it can be hand washed. The Solufleece backing will disappear at this point but the Bondaweb will remain and hold the effect in place. To secure the effect for further use it is recommended (not 100% necessary) that you apply a suitable backing. This will stabilise the piece of work.<\/p>\n

\"Crashing<\/a><\/p>\n

Recommended Backings:
\nG785 Vilene<\/a> \u2013 If the textured fabric is to be used for Clothing Weight Applications<\/p>\n

S320 Vilene<\/a> \u2013 If the textured effect is to be used for Bag Weight Applications<\/p>\n

The two above interlinings should be ironed on, without pressure but with steam.<\/p>\n

Crashing Uses<\/h3>\n

\"Vilene<\/a><\/p>\n

The textured fabric created through crashing can be used in so many ways. Adding a focal point or decorative cuff to bags (as above) , for brooches, wall hangings and we are now increasingly seeing quilts with panels created using the technique (see below).<\/p>\n

\"Vilene<\/a><\/p>\n

Just out of interest the appliqu\u00e9d quilt block above was made using our Egyptian Cotton, dyed.<\/p>\n
