-The cloth weaving process is very manageable in such a small piece.
-The torn ragged edge frays less than the cut version.
-The web has some stability of its own
-The web is pinned and then basted to a very light weight foundation to avoid extra bulk.(targeted for appliqué)
-The basting also doubles as quilting.
-Some decorative corner tacking experiments have inspired more work in this area.
-Nice drape is achieved because of the woven aspect.
-Velvet work well as a textural touch.
- A nice way to use trimmings and leftovers.
- Appliqué trial will be posted on Spirit Cloth blog, link added here after completion. (Related links to the spirit cloth blog: 1 , 2 .)
