I have discovered magic, Terial Magic that is.
At Quilt Market last Fall I was introduced to Terial Magic a liquid fabric stabilizer that makes knits behave like a woven. I was so excited to hear what this product could do that I participated in a live product demo. Seeing the potential for speedy reverse applique I shared my plan with Laurie, the demonstrator and brand manger. She asked if I would be interested in a collaboration to show how I would use the product.
Today, I am the guest blogger on the Terial Arts blog. Pop over there to see the steps I took to make this fast and easy reverse applique project.
To further test the possibilities of this stabilizer, I sewed the motifs using silver metallic thread. I loaded it as normal and took no precautions against twisting, breaking or bobbin tangles I have heard occurs with metallic thread. There were no issues at all with the treated fabric!
I am so thrilled with the end result. This wrap stitched up quickly and could be done in a week of evenings with no stress.
Be sure to visit the Terial Magic page to find out how you can make your own.
Happy Sewing,
Bianca
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove this! I saw it on the Terial Magic website. I'm going to make me one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you stopped by and are inspired to make your own! Reach out if you have any questions!
DeleteThis turned out beautifully! I like how the light shines through the cut away sections. I totally could have used this a week ago! I'm working on a reverse applique version of Jalie's drop pocket cardigan with a leaf motif I drew on the fronts. I did some tests, and I like the hand stitching more than the machine which means it's gonna take forever! I will give this product a go the next time I take on such a project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! I love my hand-sewn versions as well, but needed a time saving method in my life. :) The Texas winters are so short, I could not invest the time for a cold weather project. Terial Magic made this a breeze!
DeleteHoly Smoke!!! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! I'm going to check out your post on how you did it...
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I was worried I wouldn't love it as much as my hand-sewn pieces. The metallic threads adds the texture and dimension hand-sewing would have.
DeleteWow (as usual)! What a beautiful and cool-looking wrap! I'm so impressed with the look of the metallic thread on the knit. Your tutorial on the Terial Magic site was great and I'll be buying some. I hope that they're setting you up with a lifetime supply.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina! I love that Sulky thread! I have it in many cool colors and can't wait to use the variegated variety on another wrap. I am glad you are excited about the product, I was immediately sold when I saw it work. I will put a lifetime supply in my next contract! Thanks for the tip! 😁
DeleteYour stole is divine! I made my Alabama Chanin skirt on the sewing machine, too. But the Terial Magic would have made it so much easier.
ReplyDeleteHere are some pix of my skirt construction and finished product.
