Free Motion Machine Embroidered Butterflies

with Gill Collinson

Saturday 7th November 2020 | 10.00-16.00 | £70

Free motion machine embroidery is a ‘jump on in’ kind of course! It’s scary at first, especially if you are used to sewing on a sewing machine, but once you start you can’t stop!

Learn the art of free machine embroidery to make beautiful butterflies and more. Gill will help you get over your inhibitions and fly free!

Use up snips of sparkly sheers and twinkly voiles to create beautiful stitched treasures! Using free-motion stitching and layering techniques in combination with dye-based paints you can make textured, intricate shaped brooches and motifs – and look forward to spring!

All tools and materials will be available but please bring a packed lunch and refreshments. If you have your own sewing machine we recommend bringing it, even if you don’t have a free machine foot.

The course can accommodate complete beginners and those wishing to enhance their skills.
