Creative machine embellishing will teach you how to use your embellishing machine in ways you’ve probably not explored yet. Embellishers are also known as felting machines, and they work using barbed needles to ‘felt’ fabrics and fibres. You can create interesting coloured and textured surfaces to use on their own, or as a base for free-motion embroidery.
Who is this aimed at?
Anyone who hasn’t been able to fully-exploit the creative potential in needlefelting using their embellisher machine.
