I have spent a very enjoyable 2 hours free machining using a variety of threads including variegated and metallic.
I started by backing a piece of black cotton velvet with a medium weight Vilene then ironed on 4 circles of my dyed fabric backed with the wonderful Bondaweb!!
A poor photo as the velvet is really black!
Next I stitched in free motion using both straight and zigzag....
..we had some brilliant fireworks on Boxing Night and that inspired was my inspiration, just pleased it worked!!
I think this idea would look good on a book cover or to decorate a cushion or bag and it was great fun to do!
Now I have to put all my samples in my book and prepare for my 2nd and last assessment.....
This is right up my street ... I love it! The colours and metallic threads are perfect and create the firework effect perfectly.
