This course is for absolute beginners to free machine embroidery, (the art of drawing with your sewing machine). It is a short course but has all of the essentials to learn free motion. It's for those of you who want to dip your toes in gently without committing to a big course. It is designed to be done in a day, you will make a meadow of flowers with circles of fabric and stitched stems and petals. Enjoy!

Materials and equipment

I go into detail about which fabrics are suitable for free motion embroidery, which embroidery foot, hoop and threads to buy within the course. Also a variety of ways to prepare your fabric prior to stitching.

Take away the fear!

I go into detail and explain many hurdles that can occur, that as a beginner I faced. For example, how to attach the foot and help you find the correct tension and explore ways of holding the fabric, easing you in gently, you can watch me as many times as you want and help build your confidence.

Jo Hill

I have had a life long interest in creative textiles, I now specialise in free motion embroidery (since 2008), I have a degree in textiles and City & Guilds qualifications in a variety of textile subjects. Stitching is my passion, closely followed by teaching, I love to pass on my skills to others, it gives me a lot of joy to see people produce work they never thought they could.

I would be thrilled if you let me take you on this wonderful adventure into free machine embroidery.

Happy Stitching!
