- www.DeborahWirsu.com has relocated to www.threadsketchinginaction.com. Thread sketching in Action offers 52 weeks of thread sketching, thread painting and free motion designs, as they are created on a domestic sewing machine. Week 8 continues to look at lines and circles using seeds as inspiration. These demonstrations form an ongoing collection of ideas for stand-alone thread-sketched pictures and ideas for quilting larger works.

Hi Deb - thank you so much - I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I'm certainly enjoying making them!
it is so beautiful! I look so forward to watching your videos each week as I am just learning FM. thank you
Thank you Deborah. Much appreciated. I'm adventuring out. Looking forward to doing fun things.
You're most welcome! Enjoy the journey!
Fabulous, I struggle to sew a straight line, I am in awe of your talent.
Hi Marian - one of the joys of free motion stitching is that straight lines aren't necessary :)
Beautiful! You are so good at controlling the machine and produce such lovely art pieces.
+SG Colours - Thank you! I must confess this is not one of my favourite pieces, but other people seem to like it! And it was good practice!
Looking forward to more beautiful art pieces from you. : )
I'll try! (Thanks for your interest!)
It is beautiful work!!
***** Thank you so much. I hope it inspires!
Thank you so much 😊 that's awesome!!!!!! I've just got a free motion foot for my machine so I'm going to make something, similar I hope 🤞
Great! I'm glad this has helped you get started! (Please remember that my designs are Copyright). You may be interested in my thread sketching and thread painting courses - you'll find them at learn.deborahwirsu.com
Hi Deborah. Can u tell me what size needle unuse for the no.8 thread????
Hi Kathryn. I usually use Embroidery needles in sizes 75/11, 80/12 or 90/14 for most of my work. From memory, I think I would have made this one using 75/11, but it was a while ago now!
Hello Deborah. Thank you for ALL of your great tutorials. You explains things so well, and make it possible for beginners like me to LEARN, PRACTICE, SUCCEED. Do you have a book that I can purchase? I am a big fan of your work. --Mrs. D.
+Linda Hi Linda - thank you so much for your lovely comments. I'm glad you find my explanations clear! The Thread Sketching Videos are really just demonstrations (not full tutorials) so I have my first online workshop 'in the pipeline'. These are a new venture for me and the first online workshop will be up and running within the next 3 to 4 weeks (unless there are any technical glitches!). And I hope to follow up with a book - and more workshops. So keep tuned in either here on UA-cam or at my website or Facebook and you'll be sure to hear about the workshops. They will be accessible to anyone with an internet connection, and I will provide 'lifetime' access to the courses.
Deborah--this is wonderful news. I'll keep in touch; watching for your online workshop and I plan to participate. You are awesome. I'm a long arm free style artist, and there is so much to learn from you. Your tutorials are helping me grow, and experiment. Best wishes. Mrs. D at www.1893victorianfarmhouse.blogspot.com
+Linda Thanks Linda (or is it Mrs D?) - I'm glad you're looking forward to my new venture - the first course is close now! I appreciate your interest.
Peace. What type of sewing machine/pressed foot are you using in this video? How are you able to see in a circles
+Sadrea M - Hi Sadrea. In this video I used a small, domestic Janome sewing machine that I have had for about 8 years. More recently I have moved to using my larger Brother Dream Creator machine, as I found switching from one machine to the other rather time consuming. I am using an open toe, free motion (or darning) foot, which, for this machine needed to be purchased separately. It was not expensive. Because the foot has an 'open' toe it is easy to see any markings made on the fabric as guides.
It's Thursday, so I'm back with another Thread Sketching in Action video. No 8 continues to explore seed shapes using linear and curved lines, but this time in a more abstract fashion, allowing the stitch to create the colours and shapes.
