I remember watching a show on PBS about "paint with thread" doing just what
you have been talking about. I've been wracking my brain trying to remember
which one it was, perhaps Sewing with Nancy. It was a 3 or 4 part series.
Been awhile back. I know they had videos available. Beautiful things were
done using just a straight stitch and regular hand embroidery hoop.

Hi Val,
I do remember the Sewing with Nancy show but haven't seen it in ages. And I
have to admit, I wasn't a regular viewer. I don't recall the paint with
thread show though. But I bet a peek on their PBS website might reveal
something.
Thx, JJ

Go to speedstitch.com
Joyce Drexler wrote a book on machine embroidering with a standard
sewing machine. It's called Thread Painting. Your machine needs to
have at least a zig zag stitch in addition to the straight stitch. I
have done the technique before I got my embroidery machine, and it
works real well.

Thanks Karen! My machine does have a zig zag stitch and even just a couple
of "fancy" stitches (variations of the zig zag)...I'll check out that site!
Much appreciated, JJ

I'm glad I could be of some help. I was watching the responses, and
it seemed like they were all pertaining to computerized embroidery
machines, and that didn't seem to be what you were asking about.
