How to Add Texture and Depth to Slow Stitching Junco Bird Textile Art Collage

Slow Stitch along with me as I create layers of colour and texture and stitch a sweet Junco bird. I’ll demonstrate simple stitches, talk about needles, thread and how to add depth with colour. I also show how I do the blanket stitch. Check out the links to my other videos that just might help you find a starting point for getting going with slow stitching. #slowstitching
