Experiments with Freemotion Embroidery – 3 day workshop

Enjoy the freedom of drawing with your sewing machine to create your very own textile art in this
workshop focusing on the art of freemotion embroidery.

This in-depth 3 day workshop covers everything you need to know to make the most out of this wonderfully creative technique.

Aimed primarily at beginners but also suitable for those who have some knowledge of the technique and
wish really to hone their skills with a plethora of top tips and handy advice.

During day one we will be looking at the basics of setting up your machine and what equipment and
materials work best, before experimenting with both freemotion and applique through a variety of
small samples. You will go from simple line work, to practicing and perfecting designs by working
through a selection of applique pictures. Each step helps to develop and improve your confidence as
you become more skilled at the technique. You will finish the day with not only a wealth of knowledge
but also a beautiful piece of freemotion artwork using the raw edge applique technique.

Day two focuses on the more versatile side of freemotion, working with dissolvable fabric and wools,
we will also be looking at ‘motif making’ to add 3Dimensional depth into your work.

During day three we will be examining how to combine some of the different elements of freemotion
embroidery together in one composition. Using a selection of the techniques you have tried out in the
previous days you will produce a lovely ‘coastal themed’ finished embroidery hoop picture by the end
of the 3 day event.

This workshop is taught by Caroline Michelle Morgan who is a Welsh textile artist currently living and
working in her adopted home of Cornwall.
