Subject: Free Freehand Machine Embroidery Course

INTRODUCTION TO FREEHAND MACHINE EMBROIDERY

PRESENTED BY MEREDITH WOOLNOUGH

      Hi Friend,

We reckoned that perhaps the free hand embroidery course offered in our welcome email will not exactly tick the box for you and as a result we decided to send you a free machine embroidery course too, should that be your preference, especially as Embird is suited to machine embroidery.


Freehand Machine Embroidery (also known as free-motion embroidery) is a simple but highly versatile way to draw with your sewing machine. It is simple, fun, allows you to be creative and can be highly addictive.


In this FREE Udemy course, Meredith provides you with a basic introduction to the freehand machine embroidery technique. She will introduce you to the various tools and knowledge you will need to test the technique on your sewing machine, whatever type of machine that may be.


The course includes 60 minutes of instructional videos and a BONUS 'Stitched garden' project to help you put your new embroidery skills to the test.


Who should take this course:

  • Students who are completely new to machine embroidery

  • Students who are already familiar with machine embroidery but want to take it to the next level and move away from pre-programmed machine embroidery designs

  • Students who want to explore a completely new way to draw and create


Required Supplies

Here is a list of the tools and materials you will need to complete this course. The specifics of these tools and materials will be discussed further in the course videos.

  • A domestic sewing machine (with the capability to turn the feet teeth off)

  • A freehand embroidery foot or darning foot for your sewing machine (see the images in the course materials for some examples)

  • A small embroidery hoop (15 – 25cm is good)
