Machine Embroidery: Tailor-Tack

For the next part of our machine embroidery course, we were asked to use the art of editing from our first samples, to create eighteen new samples. This week we were introduced to the tailor-tacking foot, and embellishing machine- two pieces of equipment that I've loved using and developing my ideas with. I feel that the below images are the best developed samples of work- I am fascinated with the collaborations that have been produced with both new techniques. If I have chance, I'd like to continue developing the selected samples further- maybe inverting the thread/ fabric colours in order to see the difference that this would create.
