Very excited to start a new workshop today - learning the art of free machine embroidery with textile artist, Jane Charles at Community Learning MK in Bletchley.
Today we learnt how to set up our machines and test out this new technique using a small embroidery hoop. Had fun attempting to create shapes on the machine - it's quite different from ordinary sewing on the machine and the freedom of movement is going to take some getting used to!
We also dyed plain fabrics in rich bright colours, ready to use for our embroidery samples. We need to leave these to develop overnight, so it will be exciting to see what patterns have emerged one they are rinsed out tomorrow.
