Free motion embroidery, free motion sewing, or raw edge applique allows you to turn one your favourite pictures or sketches in a piece of fabric art.

Hello, While I'm mulling over sofa coverings I've created the tutorial on free motion machine applique that some of you asked for. This is the way I made the Milkchurn Cottage picture. This is my old wheat bag cover. Rather yukky. I'm going to make a new one from this vintage embroidered tray cloth... and scraps of cotton fabrics left over from other projects.
