Sewing machines: wonderful things or a source of tension?! (6)
Welcome to a new podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Izzy and Gina are both practising artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys. In this our sixth episode we discuss sewing machines, ones we have owned as well as ones we currently use. Sewing machines we mentioned: Singer Frister Rossmann Bernina Janome Husqvarnaviking Pfaff Izzy has created a handy checklist of sewing machine features she recommends you look for, if you are interested in machine embroidery.
