Page 3) Development of embroidered surfaces




Sample 3a






Twin needle - placed over dark blue fabric and in places used shirring elastic. I like the contract but would be better with some blue threads and maybe a shinier type dark blue fabric - the orange fabric still looks a bit yellowy in places.











Sample 3b






Pulled threads in both directions - placed over blue fabric - straight machine stitch - could have perhaps quilted this and maybe distressed further






Sample 3c




Cable stitch - shirring elastic -created a beautiful textured effect.




Sample 3d




Twin needle - feel this may look a little bit plain over a larger design.










Sample 3e






Twin needle - using different colour blue - if gathered and additional hand stitching added feel this would work well
