This is the piece I created for my Folio piece, Project 2 Machine Embroidery , Warrnambool TAFE. I have used cutback, applique and free machining. Fabrics used are printed chinese satin, plain satins and silk .

Using Solvy

Have used techniques from a Jan Beany book to create this piece by laying pieces of yarn and fabric between two layers of solvy before adding using free machining to create flowers and leaves.
