Sallieann Harrison

Wool Applique by Machine 

Sallieann Harrison love wool appliqué and says she needed to find a a way to work on more wool applique projects than hours would allow her to do by hand, so she has perfected a way of getting her sewing machine to behave with cotton perle 12 threads and in this introduction workshop she shares with us how she achieves this.

 

Sallieann Harrison

Sallieann guides us through the needles she uses on her machine (which will fit all machines) – we have the Gold embroidery sewing machine needles – Schmetz -14/ 90 available in our Shop ), the threads she likes, the foot that she uses, and the thread that she uses in the bobbin. There is even an interesting new use for dental-floss!  We have a lovely small project from Sallieann coming up in a couple of weeks, so start playing and get ready. Watch Now+
