Love your videos. Have just started tread sketching for a school project! I was wondering what your favourite fabric and thread to use?

[@DeborahWirsuTextileArtist]

Hi Nick - I work mostly on cotton and silk fabrics, and use rayon machine embroidery threads. I do use others, but these are the most usual.
