… subscribed to your newsletter only last week, following watching you tube and also looking at google images to try to discover more about embellishing machines. The pics and videos attracted me to you site. One thing led to another, I have now bought a janome embellisher. I now am immersed in a new craft and of course a whole new language and opportunity to discover more about textiles etc.

The Embellishing Machine aka dry needle felting EMBELLISHING!

Using an Embellishing machine is a quick and easy way to needle felt. The machine is threadless and uses a set of barded needles to punch and pull through fabrics. This action bonds the fibres of the fabrics together.

You might already be familiar with this technique or you might be a beginner, either way it is sometimes tricky to know what to do with this new found textile technique. Here are some ideas to inspire you….

1) Not sure what to do with all your embellished samples and trial pieces? We turned our samples into a patchwork cushion.

2) Embellish felt with wool fibres, cut out and blanket stitch onto a fleece throw.

3) Embellish straps of felt and wool onto a felt background, cut out flowers and embellish in the centre to bond together. Add a button  for good measure! We made lots to create a jolly door wreath. Nice for Easter?

4) Make an embellished purse- using a length of multi coloured wool embellish onto a rectangle of sturdy felt in a continuous spiral pattern. Fold into thirds and embellish the two sides, leaving the flap free. No stitches required! We cut away the straight edge on the flap following the curves to make this purse.
