Come along with your sewing machine and join me and a group of like- minded stitchers and sew up the mysteries of free Machine Embroidery.

Bring along a drawing, picture or a photograph that inspires you.

Using a sumptuous array of threads in a variety of colours and thickness and working with your own sewing machine, you will learn how to translate your original design into your very own picture of stitches, jewellery item or embroidery piece.

Students will be guided through all aspects of creating a design, placing imagery, incorporating a background and a foreground into their design and how to finish and present their work to its full and deserved potential.

The workshop is designed for the novice or the more confident stitcher who wishes to explore the numerous techniques and textures created by threads and stitch, not to mention the delight of sewing and working with colour to create pictorial machine embroidery.
