I started by placing a fine wadding between two pieces of thick cotton. I then formed a grid using my twin needle in a programmed stitch, changed to free machining and a single needle and played!!
Although I only used a fine wadding I am pleased with the effect...
..photos not great!!
Next I put some string between two pieces of white cotton fabric and stitched with my twin needle...
I spoilt it by free machining between the ridges in a darker thread!!!
Experimenting with shirring elastic in the bobbin...
..free machining on cotton and linen scrim..
..satin..
..straight rows of stitching..
..grid stitched on thick cotton.
Last but not least I tried cable stitch using my own dyed yarn. I haven't attempted this since my last attempt caused my machine to break down!! This time I didn't thread the yarn through the tension and the result was much better and easier.
Love the texture in this one.
Might make a few more cards now!
I find it amazing that you can achieve so many different textures using a sewing machine and a lot of inspiration on your part.
ReplyDeleteI am coming to the conclusion that possibilities are endless! I am forever thinking 'what if'
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing array of results. I love the twin needle work.
