Free Motion Embroidery or Thread Painting Looking for where this topic might be in the forum
Sew Whatever Expert/Couture UNITED KINGDOM Member since 5/24/10 Posts: 295	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/28/12 5:42 AM I have been on here a little while - just started getting active in autumn 2011. Now and again I try to find out where members might be posting about free machine work. by this I mean dropping feed dogs and drawing or colouring in your own designs with the machine. I know there is a machine embroidery section of the forum, but it seems to be about the stitched out designs with an embroidery unit on your machine. If anyone can point me to this topic, I would be grateful. I do alot of this type of work. I am looking to use it more in garments. It would be fun to hang out with others doing the same. ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)

But I have been wrong before! I am taking a course on it locally right now, and love it! It's become a bit of an obsession... I'd love it if you would share some photos! ------ Connie Bontje http://www.couturesmith.com Twitter: Couturesmith Facebook: Connie Bontje Desperately trying to keep ahead of my pattern, fabric and dressform collection!

Do a search, and if you don't find it, start a thread under Creative Sewing. That seems to be the closest. Sometimes it is not easy to determine where a subject should go. You didn't say for quilting, so I'm assuming you mean just regular free motion embroidery, which is a lot of fun. It might make an interesting topic. ------ I have not yet begun to procrastinate

I don't know how to link on here but a google search should pull it up. Some of the early western stars had elaborate embroideries done freehand on their show outfits so maybe some research online would turn up more information.

I didn't get back here for a bit because my special friend doggy got very ill suddenly and has gone already. Anyway, I will look into starting something! I am not really talking about the free motion quilting, although some pieces use that as well in order to complete the work. Here are a few links to some pieces I have made.

(Notice some of those who responded mentioned quilting). You do nice work. A woman came to our American Sewing Guild meeting and gave us a lot of hints on how to do faces. Her work was stunning. Sorry about your doggy. ------ I have not yet begun to procrastinate
Sew Whatever Expert/Couture UNITED KINGDOM Member since 5/24/10 Posts: 295	Login to reply to this post In reply to GlButterfly << Like this post Date: 4/4/12 4:31 PM I love this sort of work because it isn't designed by someone else! I started a thread over on the Creative Sewing section. If you know someone doing this sort of work on this forum, perhaps you can point them in that direction. I would like to have a discussion about how to use free motion embroidery on garments.
