Chenille
- to make your own chenille, layer 4 to 8 layers of fabric (cotton,
flannel, rayon or silk) with the brightest and boldest fabric on top.
Do not prewash. Spray
baste between each layer, or pin baste when you are done. Mark a
diagonal line on the bias crossing the center of this piece. Using
your walking foot, stitch all layers along that line, then stitch
1/4" to 5/8" on either side (alternating sides as you go) until the entire piece is quilted.
Carefully cut between the lines, without cutting the bottom layer of
fabric, using shears, a slash cutter, or a specially designed mat with
your rotary cutter. Square it up if necessary. You can bind the
edges or just staystitch them and let the edges bloom. To make the chenille bloom once it has been slashed,
throw it in the washer then the dryer. (Lint alert!) Be sure to staystitch the edges
first if the piece is unfinished. To vary things next time,
try a wavy line or try placing a motif on the top layer. No need to appliqué
it, the stitching will hold it in place.
