| 7.1 | Muslin, machine stitched, wadding. |  |
| 7.2 | Cotton sheeting, machine stitched, wadding |  |
| 7.3 & 7.4 | Netting and wadding. Comparing machine stitching & hand stitching. Machine stitching gave a more padded and sharper look. |  |
| 7.5.& 7.6 | Organza and wadding. Comparing machine stitching and hand stitching. The machine stitching sample was extremely plump with well defined channels. Very smooth effect. |  |
| 7.7 | Fine silk, machine stitched, silk tops. Reminded me of old eiderdowns! Rather flat effect but this may be different if I had used more filling. |  |
| 7.8 | Silk, machine stitched, wool fleece. More padded than the previous sample. |  |
| 7.9 | Silk, machine stitched, filled with thick hand knitted pad. The texture of the knitting can be seen through the fine silk. Very sharp "ditches". |  |
| 7.10 | Very fine silk, machine stitched, shredded paper. Very flat but paper feels knobbly through the silk. |  |
| 7.11 | Crystal organza, machine stitched, thread off-cuts. Doesn't produce a very padded effect but interesting visual effect created by being able to see the threads underneath the organza. |  |
| 7.12 | Muslin, machine stitched, shredded plastic metallic effect giftwrap. Creates a knobbly effect beneath the muslin. The filling also shines through the loose weave of the muslin. |  |
| 7.13 | Cotton, various hand stitches, wadding. Sampler showing effect of various line and single stitches. |  |
| 7.14 | Muslin, various machine stitches, wadding. |  |
| 7.15 | Organza, machine stitched, wadding. Both organza and wadding melt when held over flame - this sample was an experiment to see what would happen if a quilted sample was melted. |  |
| 7.16 | Scrim and netting, machine stitched, wadding. I cut into the scrim to expose the netting. The scrim was frayed. The sample doesn't look very brilliant but this could be developed to produce interesting effects. |  |
