*Use spunbonded fabrics to create stunning effects that cannot be
achieved with any other manmade or natural fibres. *Covers a range
of exciting fabrics, from Tyvek to Lutradur, plus new fabrics such
as Evolon and heat-distressable tissue. *Fabrics can be washed,
dyed, painted, printed, stitched, burned, fused, foiled, stencilled
and slashed to create beautiful and innovative effects.Lutradur and
Evolon belong to a category of manmade fabrics called spunbonded
textiles. They have been available for a few years, but the
explosion of their use in the textile world is very recent. They
are spunbound, non-woven polyesters, which are very strong and
flexible, but soft to the touch and ideal for textile art.All the
different types of spunbonded textiles are covered including
Lutradur, Evolon, heat-distressable tissue and some older textiles
in this category, such as Tyvek, nappy (diaper) liner and kunin
felt. The author introduces a range of simple colouring techniques,
from painting and printing to dyeing. The book then guides you
through heat-distressing, fusing and soldering techniques for which
these spunbonded textiles are perfect. The other popular technique
- image transfer - is also made simple with these manmade fabrics.
Other techniques explained, step-by-step, include foiling and
stamping.An essential book for all textile artists who want new and
exciting ideas on how to use these versatile textiles.
