The current #earthdressseries quilt I am working on is #climatechangedress aka "Death of the Coral Reef". I had come across a technique using dissolvable interfacing and free motion stitch to create underwater plants. My first try is not too bad:
I should have used a hoop for stitching. It drew up a lot and became very difficult to move about and stitch. I used rayon thread that I had on hand, but feel like a heavier thread would fill faster and not draw up so much.
My drawing. I placed the interfacing over it and traced the lines using a regular pen, since I couldn't find my disappearing pen. It appears that it really didn't matter. After soaking the piece in cold water, the interfacing left as well as the pen marks! I believe I am happy with the results.
