I recently attended an excellent Ministry of Craft workshop 'Free Embroidery and Applique'
http://www.ministryofcraft.co.uk/
which opened up even more possibilities. We learned how to lower the feed dog on the sewing machine and use a darning foot to gain complete freedom to move the needle in any direction.
This owl was made at the workshop. He looks like he works in a bank! |
Next step: buying my own darning foot and experimenting even more.
