Today we got an induction using the embellishing machine. I have used it before but I had forgotten how much I loved it! I have mostly done hand embellishing and so I can compare them well, machine embellishing is so much easier and so much quicker. Below is just the small sample I produced on the first induction. I love how the fibres in the fabrics entwine together and I think it makes the fabric change into a more messy but beautiful state. I really enjoyed using this machine and I intend to make the most of using it throughout my time in machine embroidery.

Today we also learnt how to use the tufting machine. I have also already used one of these to produce my rug which is posted much earlier on in this blog. I really enjoyed using the tufter, everything about it is simple and relatively quick. It only takes a minute to thread up and this means that its so easy to try different combinations of yarns or colours all the time. I also really love this machine because I think it produces effects which make you want to touch and feel the fabrics, which to me is one of my favourite things about textiles. I always find things more interesting if I don't know directly how they have been made.
