Freemotion Embroidery Layered Pictures with Caroline Michelle
On Monday 19 October we welcomed Caroline Michelle of Caroline Michelle Textile Art back to the Barn for her Freemotion Embroidery Layered Pictures follow-on workshop. It was a lovely day, and everyone finished their picture by the end – which is always a bonus!
Layered pictures with freemotion embroidery
Freemotion embroidery is a bit like drawing with your sewing machine. With the feed dogs dropped, you move the fabric freely under the needle to create lines, outlines and texture. In this follow-on class, students built up their pictures in layers of fabric and then brought them to life with stitched detail.
Thank you to Caroline for a brilliant day, and to everyone who came along. Caroline has also left some of her textile hearts with us – come and have a look at them in the Barn ahead of her Textile Hearts workshop in March.
