We were really excited to host this Snowy Street Scene workshop in December 2024, based on the use of Free-Motion Machine Embroidery with the wonderful & hugely talented guest tutor, Cathy Emmott! This class sees participants engage in Free-Motion Machine Embroidery to create the most engaging of festive-flavoured scenes!…
Introduction by Cathy:-
From my garden workshop in the Yorkshire Dales, England, I dream up, design and stitch a small range of textile products, lovingly embellished with my unique raw edge appliqué designs. I turn my illustrative designs into intricate textile art using new and vintage snippets of fabric and bring them to life using free-motion machine embroidery. Inspired by my love of garden birds, insects and wild flowers, free-motion machine embroidery is the perfect technique to reflect nature. My business has been lovingly grown over a period of 15 years and I have taught for 8 years to established sewing groups and one-to one private lessons...
What You Will Learn in this Online Interactive Workshop:-
I have designed a unique workshop for you which will give you a peek into how I construct, stitch and embellish my designs. I will explain what free-motion machine embroidery is and how I use it, what are the pitfalls and how best to practice this technique. I will demonstrate using my own sewing machine and talk about fabric tension, needle types and speed of sewing. You will learn about the most suitable fabrics to use and why I love to use old and worn fabrics to create my designs. I will show you how to build your design and use free-motion embroidery to add a free-flowing, sketched look to your work.
Skill Level for this Online Interactive Workshop:-
Intermediate.

Refer to the images if you need inspiration. Include lace and other textured materials for the snow.
