My recently completed piece,
Center, allowed me to experiment with a technique I first read about in an article in
Quilting Daily by Liz Bolton. She was creating an embroidery piece using water soluble stabilizer. For
Center, I wanted to create an embellishment to go on the knit background. Liz's suggestions worked extremely well.
I need to purchase some Avalon Wash Away Adhesive Stabilizer and some Stabilize It by Amazing Designs. After taping the Adhesive Stabilizer to a work table, I added the fibers that I wanted use in Center in the design form I wished.

I then covered the design with the Stabilize It and stitched over the fibers using free motion quilting to create a unified element.

Next I cut out the element, immersed it in water to disolve the stabilier and then let the element dry.

It was then ready to add to my art quilt.
