Use a sewing machine to create freehand embroidered images.

In this 3 hour workshop you will learn how to hoop up your fabric and set your machine up ready to create wonderfully wobbly lines. You’ll then get to grips with using your machine without feed dogs, 'drawing' with your machine and adding splashes of colour with fabrics. By the end of the class you'll have a selection of sample pieces to take away.

Meet Your Tutor

Meg Harris graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Staffordshire University in 2008. Since then Meg has set up ‘May I Design’, describing herself as a print and pattern addict.

She uses a domestic sewing machine to create freehand machine embroidered pictures of local architecture and also takes inspiration from everyday objects.

Meg adds a pop of colour in an otherwise monochrome palette by using small pieces of fabric such as the polka dot doors or French knot flowers. She loves the freedom that the wobbly lines of freehand embroidery brings and hopes her work makes you smile.
