Machine Embroidery Techniques
"Defining the Line: Free-motion Embroidery Skills" by Ellen Anne Eddy
Many quilters are under the impression that you need a top-of-the-line sewing machine to do free-motion embroidery. Not so! In fact, it's not about fancy machinery or hard-to-find gadgets. Machine embroidery techniques have been around since the sewing machine was invented. Ellen offers tips and hints for how to get started, from which foot to use to how to sign your name in embroidery stitches. |

Hand Embroidery Designs
"Off-site Embroidery" by Susie Williams
If you've been looking to learn how to embroider a finely detailed motif onto a crazy quilt, you've come to the right place! Susie introduces you to off-site embroidery, a method involving stitching an embroidery design on a piece of cloth, cutting the finished embroidered image off the base fabric, and appliquéing the motif to your artwork. It's a great way to add detailed hand embroidery without your piece becoming too bulky. |

Embroidery Patterns
"Reverse Appliqué & Bobbin Embroidery with a Twist" by Yvonne Brown
Yvonne experiments with a mix of tissue paper, layers of synthetic fabrics and bobbin embroidery. Bobbin embroidery is great for when you want to achieve simple, flowing embroidery designs with specialty threads or ribbons too heavy or big to fit through your top needle. Because you wind the specialty threads or ribbons in the bobbin, you stitch with your work face down on the machine. A more challenging embroidery technique, but the results are worth the effort! |
