Texture Adventures in Stitch Magazine

Oct/Nov 2016 issue of Stitch magazine 

Very excited to have a project featured in Stitch magazine. This is the Texture Adventures technique which I designed in 2012 and have been teaching at workshops ever since.

I also sell packs with all the materials needed to make an 8" panel.  These are £8.00 plus VAT. Please contact me on maryelmcintosh@gmail.com if you would like to order one. Available in lots of different colourways.

 It produces reliably good results and is  good introduction to free machine sewing.

The combination of machine and hand stitching makes it a popular workshop with embroiderers
