Lessons in Creativity | Jenny Kae Parks | Runtime (7 min)
Using a narrow-edge or stitch-in-the-ditch foot, Jenny demonstrates a method of echo quilting that involves stitching right beside the ditch created by the seam between fabrics. This method creates added dimension and texture to the quilt. Using a thread that contrasts with the fabric being stitched on adds the perception of embellishment, while using a thread that matches would simply add the texture.
