Stabilization and Repair
Stabilization and Repair
Stabilization and repair with specialized techniques and materials improve the structural integrity of the textile. Fabric is a delicate material that can deteriorate over time. With the use of conservation stitches and supportive fabric layers, the textile's strength and appearance can be improved.Â
This treatment can include the addition of net or fabric overlays, underlays, backings, and linings, which support the textile and extend its lifespan.
Textiles naturally age, becoming dry and less flexible, which can lead to fiber breakage and wear. Through careful repair and stabilization using fine sewing techniques and specialized materials, Nickole helps strengthen your pieces and address areas that have been lost or damaged, preserving them for years to come.
