Machine embroidery


T H E  F I R S T  W E E K

This week I have switched over from hand embroidery to machine. To begin this half of the sampling unit we were inducted onto the sewing machines in the art school and we got shown how to use the embroidery foot. (no.6) 
In the first few days I took the opportunity to experiment with the machines a lot and get to know how to use them properly, I have found that they are very different from a normal domestic machine and it took me a little while to feel completely confident with what I was doing. 
The image below is of one of the first machine samples I produced for my technical file. I tried and tested different stitch lengths, widths and styles and also couched some yarns underneath to see what would happen
