Paint with Thread
Use thread to add color and
texture to your of textile art
As a textile artist, I want to create interesting works of art. To me, basic quilting techniques always appeared flat. I wanted to see dimension, shading and texture in my nature-inspired art. I found the solution with thread painting, a technique that uses free-motion machine stitches to embroider on fabric. It is one of my favorite things to do. Now, I turn basic textile designs into works of art. I want to show you how you can do the same.
This course is designed for beginners, but offers plenty of material to help advance the skills of more experienced textile artists. The course is simplified to demonstrate the basic techniques.
Once you understand the basics, you can add more stitches and color changes to your designs to make amazing artwork. This comprehensive course includes up-close video tutorials demonstrating each process. It also offers bonus content to encourage experimenting. With this course, you'll understand Nanette's motto of "There are no rules! Just techniques to be used as needed."

A Message From Nanette:
I love teaching the basics of thread painting, because I don't believe there is just one way to approach this art form. I like to teach my students the basics, then show them options and variations they can apply. I believe my students walk away from this class with new tools they can use and then run with them in their own creative way.
Let me teach you the rules so you can break them like an artist.
I hope you will join me on this creative exploration into
