Discover reverse applique over metal using your sewing machine

Description

Using the ‘mola’ or reverse appliqué technique, we will layer fabrics over a base of metal, machine stitch (free or with the feed dogs up) our design and then cut back through the layers to reveal colours we have hidden and finally the metal layer at the bottom.

Complete the piece with more surface decoration techniques and you have a piece which could be used at both a large, bold scale and a very small, delicate one

This will lead us to create a deceptively simple piece and stitch into metal without the accompanying worries about getting metal under your sewing machine for the first time.

I will provide sample designs or you can create your own.

The course is suitable for all levels of experience, you will be able to work at your pace and be guided and helped every step of the way.
