Cushion Mad with Tanya Whelan Scrummy Fabric

I am falling in love with my sewing machine! Finally. My second cushion creation and this ones gorgeous purely because the fabric is like candy to a baby, for me that is. I also am enjoying making my Ribbon Flower Corsages as just a little extra sparkle for my tasty sofa treats. I need more ideas to pop into my head and I wish to get to grips with using an embroidery foot on my sewing machine, so I can freestyle sew! I'm so envious of those who can do it. Any tips? x

    Lovely cushion! Free machine embroidery is really just a matter of practice. Start by drawing stuff on paper, and machining just inside or outside your images - you don't even need thread at this stage! You don't need to be really neat - that's part of its charm. Try lots and lots of practice pieces on fabric - you can frame the ones you like, or use them as a cushion panel, but if you use recycled fabric (old clothes etc) you won't feel like you've wasted anything.
