Art Quilt Techniques - Boro By Machine
Led by Helene Knott
Boro is a rustic approach to mending that was developed in Japan centuries ago. It is similar to Sashiko but in Sashiko, you use structured designs for a decorative effect while Boro is more utilitarian. Boro (also called ‘Visible Mending’ in the USA) are patches applied to fabric and adhered with simple grid or visible linear stitching. Boro was typically used to mend or patch worn textiles, but in recent years, Boro and Slow Stitching have caught the fancy of contemporary fiber artists who relish the earthy organic nature of this simple approach to stitchery. Boro is typically done by hand but in this class you will work with heavy threads and stitch by machine.
