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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential book for all textile artists who want new and exciting ideas on how to use these versatile textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wendy Cotterill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46896575807637,"sku":"9781849940016","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781849940016_947980d4-5aa3-4d4b-a339-41c4353a22b6.jpg?v=1776888288","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781849940016_spunbonded-textile-and-stitch-lutradur-evolon-and-other-distressables","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
