Free Motion Embroidery for Christmas

Description

Get in the festive mood and create some free motion embroidery pictures which you can then use as patches to adorn your home at Christmas, as cushions, on gift bags or as cards.

You will learn or be reminded how to set up your domestic machine for free motion embroidery or drawing with a sewing machine.

Get started with some simple exercises and then practice the technique to develop confidence in free motion stitching.

I have a whole heap of Christmas designs and plenty of fabric scraps to cut your appliqué shapes from. Once you have settled on a design you can outline and add detail by drawing with your sewing machine, if you are feeling brave you can also add some text to personalise your Christmas design. 

Please note you will need a sewing machine which is capable of dropping the feed dogs and a darning foot - please call or message me if you have any question about your machines capability for free motion stitching.

A cuppa and cake will be available to all participants and materials will also be provided.
