year+10+machine+embroidery

Students were shown examples of creative free-motion embroidery and were encouraged to use nature as a source of inspiration.

Teacher examples:

They free-cut a variety of shapes and sizes from materials of different texture, used a water-soluble glue stick to adhere them temporarily, then layered tulle over the top. Each shape was outlined 2 or 3 times using free-motion techniques. Some areas of the tulle were cut away to create light and shade.
