some pieces of paper are laying on top of a map

Free motion embroidery, free motion sewing, or raw edge applique allows you to turn one your favourite pictures or sketches in a piece of fabric art. This technique provides you with full control over the picture - by dropping the feed dogs on your machine you guide your picture through your sewing machine to create the look you want. For your background fabric, choose something firmly woven such as calico, cotton or even linen.

Embroidery is supercute, but many of us can't afford an embroidery machine or want different designs from the one you can purchase.

Also needed to consider the threads and colour sequences so that once I started I could get a flow. Contemplating is probably the most important part before setting off, so STITCH Ref 6.3.1 Simple…

some type of embroidered fabric with the word go written in large letters and flowers on it

Hello, While I'm mulling over sofa coverings I've created the tutorial on free motion machine applique that some of you asked for. This is the way I made the Milkchurn Cottage picture. This is my old wheat bag cover. Rather yukky. I'm going to make a new one from this vintage embroidered tray cloth... and scraps of cotton fabrics left over from other projects. I never throw anything away. I'm going to applique the words 'feeling better' onto the linen. I've arranged the fabric letters where…
