When in a jam finding a pattern with all the right colors that you are working with, you will always be able to find the infamous FLAMESTITCH. ( with just the right colors)
And in a small dose, even I, who really dislikes it, can tolerate it.
And in the end, when everything is all pulled together it actually looks great.
It can really be a LIFE SAVER.
I speak from experience and a few bald spots that I have from pulling my hair out over a few jobs/projects/clients/rooms/bad dye lots/poor installatiions , yadda ,yadda , yadda ....you name it, but we can stop there.
Just give it a chance, you will be pleased.
This works beautifully with contemporary.
This one is pretty darn sharp, but it is not a typical FLAMESTITCH.
Yuck-O, .......this is a typical flamestitch.

I really like the black and white zig-zag.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of the flamestitch.
ReplyDeleteWe're designing an ottoman covered in a great Quadrille flame stitch. So much fun.

I too love flamestich. It can be completely modern or traditional depending on the setting and or colour way. And, it is usually indestructible.
ReplyDeleteSearch for the right fabric is definitely a lot of work! You've gotten togeter a nice collection.
ReplyDeleteBTW... I am feeling better...numbness went away... the unbearable headache was the WORST part to tell you the truth.
Good luck with your fabric!
