Sampling Project Pt.2

Machine Embroidery Workshop

Before and after photographs of machined colour chart strips.







I found it interesting to see how you can change the surface and texture of a fabric, just by simply sewing over the surface. For example, you can create a different surface effect by stitching rows of tailor tacks onto a plain cotton fabric. I particularly liked the broken tailor tacks on the reverse of the grey faux leather, because it worked well with the suede-flocked-like surface and emphasized the characteristics of the surface.
