Foundation Fabrics - The Good, The Bad, The Pretty
Posted on Mar 21, 2019
When I first started, backing fabrics was where I got stuck. Needle, not so hard, one site, click, done.
Yarn, definitely not hard. Although it turns out I needed to be smarter about yarn weights. Luckily, most yarns out there are 4 or 5 weight, which works great. The hardest thing about yarn was deciding which colors.
Then it was time to start punching. I have artist canvas and linen at home, I think I’m good. Here we go.
If you followed a similar path, you know it’s not that easy. Nothing I had at home would let me try this out?!?
Some IG searching later, I found a site, bought what the lady said was her favorite and off I went….finally.
A detailed post of everything foundation fabrics was indeed needed. I took what I knew and I learned new things. I now have answers to all your questions about burlap. And I tried my hand at Aida.
