THE POSSIBILITIES
Hand-drawn expression, in thread.
Yokoburi is a free-motion machine embroidery technique: the maker guides the cloth by hand to draw with stitches. The movement of the hands gives each motif its own expression. Discuss a distinctive decorative feature for your collection, from flowing lines to layered thread work.
This is hand-guided machine embroidery. Individual variation and the time required for the artwork are discussed as part of the project.
