Irish




One of my favourite possessions is my beloved Irish embroidery machine, bought off ebay for a mere £50. Bargain! I'm still not quite a pro at it but practice makes perfect eh? Here is a little snippet of what I'm up to at the moment. The Irish has a knee paddle so the user can create a varying satin stitch while sewing. The needle moves much faster than a domestic sewing machine, this makes it much easier to 'draw' with.
