I think it’s to reinforce the knot at the end when you pull the thread to gather it so it doesn’t shatter? One side has the thread and the other doesn’t from what I can see. And then 2 of her lines break.. so even with the reinforcement, it could be difficult. It has to be really really tight for shibori, so the dye does not penetrate those areas.
Hi jennifer tried doing the stuff stiched and dyied the fabrc but could not get the designs all over some part the design was there some parts could not get the design what could be the mistake pls explain
I love the look
Its fantastic
Thank You 💙
What is the dipping process? How long do you keep it in the dye for? Looks great BTW!
Turned out beautifully. Still not sure what the tiny bits of cloth are for…

sweet job
Do you think this kind of technique would work on a thicker medium like a shammy? (The PVA cloth divers use to dry themselves). Thanks!
I think it would work because people do use this technique on hand woven wool fabrics but I think there will be less detail upon thicker fabrics.
@ thanks for the reply
Very nice Tie die. It is very beautiful.

Can it be machine stitched?
I haven't tried it but it would be worth experimenting. You would need a long basting stitch.
Have to keep stirring to get even background
Hi very nice
