Learn More “Stress Free” Doodle Stitching
Do you like to doodle? Many of us enjoy sketching or even scribbling absentmindedly, dreaming we’re budding artists! The same action can be translated to needle and thread, randomly stitching on small pieces of fabric while learning creative techniques.
Watch the Doodle Stitching TV show (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three) online now. You’ll also find details, tips, and techniques in the Doodle Stitching book, available at Nancy’s Notions.
Clip ‘n Stitch Doodling
Let’s kick off Doodle Stitching Part Three with a Clip ‘n Stitch Doodle project. Small snippets of fabric fused to a background layer are the doodling tools. This is not a lengthy process, rather a random act of creativity!
Popsicle Garden
One of the benefits of doodle stitching is becoming comfortable with free-motion quilting. Creating a Popsicle Garden is an ideal way to learn the tricks of the trade while stitching a whimsical work of art. Circles and rectangular shapes are all that’s needed, along with a little stitching time. Watch online to see how easy it is to try free-motion quilting on this smaller scale.
Doodle Outside the Lines
Next on Doodle Stitching Part Three, a scarf was the fabric chosen for the last of the creative projects. Nancy liked the look of doubling the sheer layers to create even more subtle shades of color. Each section was roughly stitched with sketchy stitches. We liken the stitching to coloring in a book. You can’t make a mistake when you purposely Doodle Outside the Lines.

I would love to win this Doodle stitching book. I would really put it to use.
Nancy Ice
I would really enjoy this book. I’m new to quilting – I’m more home decor and/or garment sewer. I really enjoy the free motion technique but find myself stressing over the ‘doing it’ part. I think this doodling would be a fantastic way to beat the stress. Thanks!
Joyce Migliore
I have done a little bit of doodling but haven’t seen some of those techniques shown. I would love to learn more about doodling!
Sandra N
I would love to learn to doodle! It would add so much interest to otherwise plain fabrics!
Nancy Wrenn
My hands are a little jerky. Can I still do the doodling? Would love to learn. When I try to machine quilt I get points and angles in stead of round quilting. Sometimes it looks okay because it is all alike. But not always.
Clovis
Doodling can make great art.
Nancy

I would love to learn to doodle to try on a quilt.

I would enjoy the opportunity to learn new techniques offered in this book and could use them to help me with my art quilts.
Marian Crane
I’d love a copy of the book! I have a free-motion head for my old Elna, but haven’t played much with doodling. As a fiber artist who (occasionally) makes money at this, I enjoy blending artplay and work.
Bonnye
I began doodling on some fabric that I will make into bags. Really fun.
Christi
I do sometimes enjoy this type of stitching.
