If you would like some ideas, here’s a little list that might inspire you.

One of the fun things that I remember from City and Guilds Machine Embroidery was  machine stitching an envelope to travel through the post.  That was a while ago now, and I’ve used the skills I learnt many times since then.  Of course, I used the Madeira machine embroidery threads to work it, they aren’t online yet, but we are only a phone call away if you would like to discuss your requirements.  This post shows the technique taken a little further – but not by me!  Pop over and take a look.

Just published, a new post that might give you some ideas on how to use some of the new products.  More new items coming soon.  I need to try them out first……..

We had a lovely time at the Studios on 16th November. If you want to see an excerpt of one of the shows you will find a video online here (click the ‘Watch Video’ button). I’m not sure how long it will stay, so you may have to be quick.

If you are interested in the Vegetarian Silk and the felt that was featured on the show you will find details here. The Vegetarian Silk is the fibre used to create the centre of the flowers, and the felt used to make the quick little poppy flower. A good starting point would be an Embellisher Roll which contains samples of eacy. These are online at the moment at a special price of £5.00. Stock up quickly because they will soon revert to £7.50

A new product for which I’ve been searching since…….

These are the most useful tweezers imaginable.  More details here, but an absolute must for changing needles in your embellisher!
