Studies

Experiments in motion, type, and drawing from the ShirePath lab. Each one is a plate with a page of its own, and the ones changed this week come first.

This week on the bench

  1. Stitch Drag from the needle to sew, pull the loose end to take stitches out, or unpick it and leave the needle holes.
  2. Stitch First version: the mark sewn onto cloth in a hoop, in running stitch, backstitch, or cross-stitch.
  3. Type Seven of the motions became headline options in the Explorer, and the samples now draw through its preview.
