Thread Painting

This is my first attempt at thread painting (aka free motion embroidery). This was all done on the sewing machine using a straight stitch, and a modified zig-zag stitch. I completed most of the hat on 2 layers of medium cut-away backing, then trimmed off the excess, and finished it on the jacket to attach it. The face was done directly on the jacket.

    That's outstanding!How did you learn the technique? I've been wanting to learn free form embroidery for some time now but couldn't find a good book to refer to. Any suggestions?
