German term or phrase: Fadentechnik
Description of an embroidery stabilizer that can be used for "Fadentechnik" as in http://de.geocities.com/klingerralf/5thema_Fadentechnik.htm

I think that "thread painting" or "thread drawing" are only used to designate patterns with fill stitches. In this "Fadentechnik", however, the thread defines the outline of the pattern. Does anybody know the correct BE term?

TIA

Free Motion Machine Embroidery
Free motion machine embroidery is achieved by dropping the feed dogs and fitting an appropriate foot (darning/free motion embroidery) to the machine (see your sewing machine manual). By dropping the feed dogs the machine loses the ability to move the fabric under the foot, and the stitch length setting is of no consequence.
Free machine embroidery involves producing a stitch by simultaneously running the machine and moving the work around. Imagine the work surface to be a piece of paper and the machine needle to be a pencil. Instead of moving the pencil to draw, move the ‘paper’ allowing the needle to draw on the fabric surface. The foot leaves a gap between the plate and the foot through which the work can move easily.
The length of the stitch is determined by how quickly, or slowly, the work is moved, combined with how fast the machine is run. Running the machine quickly and moving the work slowly results in small stitches. Running the machine slowly and moving the work quickly results in longer stitches. The direction in which the stitches run can also give texture to a piece of work;
