An example of machine embroidery still life by Linda Miller

Linda’s Blog

Here’s is the list of where I am holding machine embroidery workshops.

Its an exciting calendar and I hope you can come along with your sewing machine to join me and a group of like-minded stitchers, spending time making your very own machine embroidery picture. Using a sumptuous array of threads in a variety of colours and thickness, you with your machine will learn how to translate your original design into a picture.

Happy Stitching and best wishes,

Linda

In the course you will learn how to translate your original design into your own picture of stitches, jewellery item or embroidery piece. Students will be guided throughout the course on all aspects of creating a design, placing imagery, incorporating a background and a fore ground into your design, and how to finish and present your work to its full and deserved potential.

The evening class is designed for the novice or the more confident stitcher who wishes to explore the numerous techniques and textures created by threads and stitch, not to mention the delight of sewing and working with colour to create pictorial machine embroideries.
