Description
Discover how to trap real flowers and leaves in your textile work with the innovative use of Bondaweb combined with free machine embroidery on silk. I cover several machine embroidery stitches which complement the flowers and ferns beautifully – all you have to do is provide the threads and hydrangea petals – the bigger the better!
We will make up a sample first and then once you are comfortable with the technique we will move onto composition and stitching . The outcome will be stitched panel which will last for years.
Suitable for confident beginners in Free machine embroidery. See requirements list.
