Now I am no Poppy Treffry....

but having seen her fabulous ideas I wanted to have a go at this free motion embroidery but there was a few problems...

a) I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing
b) I only have a very basic machine and cant lower the feed dogs on it
c) I didn't do much research into how its done
d) I am impatient and want to have a go now!

So here is my attempt at Free motion embroidery, please be kind its my first go at it!



What do you think, do you think Poppy Treffry should be worried?
