Although I love and appreciate hand stitching embroidery and needlework, I do most of my work on a sewing machine . My trusty Bernina is an extension of my body really and rarely gets put away !!
I love working free motion embroidery and quilting with a darning foot, use lots of dissolve fabrics and apply any kind of material down with machine stitch.
I am sure many of us use both hand and machine stitch at various times to create beautiful and stunning needlework.
Would anyone be interested in a Machine Stitch group here on stitchin fingers?
Sharon B says we can start one if there is the interest from the members.
Anyone interested in joining me?
Sally

Not to mention.......I am in desperate need to break out and do something - anything - new. (I'm starting to decorate my rut......!)
that could be your first "assignment", machine embroider a representation of a rut! Think outside the box :)

I would be interested in joining the machine stitch group. I do only machine emb, and free motion quilting. By machine embrodery I mean done on my Berniina ie thread painting on all my art quilts. I do very very little emb. by hand.
Thanks for the opportunity to be with like quilters and sewers. Carol M.

Can I ask for people to please share photos of their work if the group gets going? Dont be shy!
In other areas of this site I would love to see more photos when people describe their work.
