Embroidering with specialist machines looks simple, you just push the button, and the machine does the job. Or not? These specialised embroidery machines are sensitive to a lot of small details that are normally not mentioned to the user.
If you are thinking of purchasing a specialist embroidery machine or have one already, this is the class for you. Our specialist teacher will give you top tricks and tips to make the machine work for your needs and to build your confidence and skills to fully maximise your creative potential! On top of that, she will teach you free motion embroidery that can be executed on your average sewing machine at home.
Embroidery is a versatile skill that can be used to add pops of colour, tactility, and decoration to textiles from clothing to personalised gifts. Embroidery is great for many projects, including logos, patches, lacework, applique, quilting, and bag-making; the possibilities are endless!
By the end of the workshop, you will:
• Understand how to hoop and thread your embroidery machine
• Have an understanding of the different types of stabilisers and their uses
• Have the confidence to get embroidering at home
• Learn to troubleshoot when things go wrong
• Have developed the skills to give your clothes and accessories a new look
• How to use a free motion embroidery foot on a standard machine
Learn creative methods, and new skills, and have fun with us in our inspirational studio space! Embroidery can have many sustainable benefits too. By repurposing and personalising your old clothes and accessories, you can reduce your clothes carbon footprint by 20-30%!
The small workshop size ensures valuable one-to-one teacher and participant time, allowing maximum engagement and assistance.
