I started working on my next online class, Free Motion Stitching on Felt. I looked through what I had for samples and started making a few more.
This is a sample that I had stenciled first with thickened dye and then free motion stitched.
You can see that I didn’t use a stabilizer on this to show how stitching can really distort felt. If you’re interested in taking the class, just let me know and I’ll add you to the email list to notify when the class is ready to go.
Looks cool Ruth. I like the waviness. This is definitely something I need practice on. Let me know when the class is running.
Thanks Marilyn, I’m sure the class won’t be ready until spring 2017 at the earliest. But I’ll put you on my list.
Good deal.
I think it’ll be popular!
Thanks Lyn, I hope so 🙂
Beautiful piece and I love the colour!
Thanks Karen!
Great textures and patterns! Unfortunately my machine is so old I can’t drop the feed dogs, which I understand is necessary for free motion embroidery?
Actually Kim it is possible to do free motion without dropping the feed dogs. I haven’t tried it but have read about others that do. If you have a free motion/darning foot, you can still move the felt underneath the needle as the foot moves up and down.
Hmm, OK – will investigate!
