A is for Applique. Ornamental needlework in which pieces of fabric are sewn or stuck onto a large piece of fabric to form pictures or patterns. Applique Page
B is for Balance. A compositional consideration. For me the management of stability. Which goes beyond the thing and often involves rocking back and forth.
B is for Base. The concept of the base cloth is like painting I suppose, in that it is a canvas, something to put your marks on. Base lesson from Spirit Cloth 101 But a base can be as simple as a space, waiting to become a place.
B is for Baste… to sew with long loose stitches so as to hold the cloth temporarily in place. My baste has evolved a bit. I often leave it in. I call it the Glue stitch.
