How to Embellish on a Longarm Quilt with Cathy Franks
(Show 2302) Cathy Franks, longarm expert and international award-winning quilt artist, is a powerhouse of exuberant energy and shares a dizzying number of creative techniques on the longarm. You'll never look at a cone of variegated thread again, once you see her embroidered and tulle-like flowers using a razor blade and tulle. Flower stems and painterly leaves appear, as if by magic, as Cathy manipulates bits of fabric and knitting yarn. And, did you know that by manipulating just one stencil, you can create dozens of interesting and unique quilting designs with just a twist and turn of the wrist? The creative ideas just keep coming as Cathy is guaranteed to keep you enthralled.
