Beginners Free Motion Embroidery Class at Abakhan Shrewsbury

This can also be known as Drawing with your Sewing Machine.

We will look at the foot that is used to help the machine skim across the fabric and the reason we drop the feet teeth. These two small adjustments will enable you to sew in any direction without turning the fabric and also create some beautiful free motion patterns.

This piece of work can then be used to create pictures to place in a frame, or a cushion front. Come and let your imagination run creatively wild and produce a wonderful piece of textile art.

Skill level : Basic sewing machine skills required.

Tutor : Sheila Jones

I am passionate about sewing and crafting.

I have been involved with sewing and dressmaking for all of my working life and nothing gives me greater pleasure than passing on my knowledge to people who want to learn to sew. I enjoy sewing, dressmaking, all types of craft and especially machine embroidery.

I have been working at the Abakhan store in Shrewsbury since it opened its doors in 2018.
