For Flying Cat

Fc asked a lot of questions so here are the answers, I congratulate you Fc the cats I have had the pleasure of the company of never learnt to sew, all they did was practise acrobatic tricks with my fabric when I was working on it then sleep off the action on the piles of fabric I tend to have about me,

......how do you get the lino to imprint so well onto fabric?

Fabric is more absorbent than paper so takes easily but the hard part is keeping it there as it can wash out, the other difference is you cannot use some printing inks because of the oil content it will rot the fabric in time, hence canvas needs a ground before oil painting or it would disintegrate,

What sort of paint did you use?

Water soluble oil based ink as in the collographs, acrylic paint, textile paint (not silk paint they are too thin),

Is it all machine embroidery?

Yes, mostly, on work I am creating to sell it keeps the price down but I do love hand work and so use it on larger pieces and personal work for family and friends,

Did you embroider before quilting?

I work them together a sort of embroidered quilting style, I started as an embroiderer and came to quilting in recent years, I love the extra dimension it gives work,

Fc thank you I think I might put this as a FAQ page on my website,

W-e-e-e-ll....to be honest - as only a kitty can be - I'm not the sewer herabouts and much prefer to perch, rummage and rip where materials are concerned. However, the one-who-sews-a-bit thanks you for all the very interesting info. If you look very closely at the tiny whatdyemacallit pic top right of my blog, you can almost see how neatly I managed to jam my slim self into a very narrow shelf full of materials.... It's a natural talent which I think should be encouraged...
