threads
Since we chose an array of denims for our fabrics,
you will want to select threads that stand out
against the base’s folded fabrics. We suggest
colors that both compliment and contrast the blue
denim fabric, but also coordinate with the overall
southwestern theme.
Notions
Just like with most quilt blocks, you will want the
basic notions for this folded fabric collection. A
ruler, rotary cutter, and sharp embroidery scissors
are all vital elements to completing your design.
fabric
In order to create a dynamic look to our folds, we wanted fabrics that made
a statement without overpowering our embroidery! We opted to incorporate
fabrics to suit the southwestern theme, and what better than denim! We
selected several shades of denim in a tonal pallet that would really highlight the
decorative embroidery that gets stitched over top.
