Sewing machine stitching / Experimenting with black & white tonal values

Enrich fabric surface by simply sewing straight or curved lines. See how you can play with tonal values and changes from dark to light, using the sewing machine and the simple straight stitch.

Materials: Polyester black thread on white cotton
  • Technique 01: Change the distance between the rows. Start by drawing, with a pencil and a ruller, 10 lines with an in-between distance of 1/16'' (or 1mm). Then draw 10 more lines with an in-between distance of 1/8'' (or 2mm). As you move from one side to the other increase gradually the distance between the lines.
