In Freestyle Embroidery on Wool you will learn how to kickstart
your creativity and become confident at making your own colourful
and expressive designs using applique and embroidery on felted wool
fabric. Using her own detailed and imaginative embroidery as
examples Karin Derland teaches you how to go about creating your
own designs using applique and embroidery on wool felt. Karin
shares plenty of instruction and helpful tips on making colour
choices, how to apply ribbons, mirrors and other accessories,
making and using cardboard templates for applique shapes and how to
combine different types of threads and stitches for best effect.
Sketches, diagrams and detailed photographs of different types of
embroidered pillows, cushions, cases and other items will give you
a head start on creating and applying your own designs. The book
also offers plenty of inspirational images through Karin's
colourful embroidery that draws on both the Swedish and Indian
traditions. These can be used as an inspirational library of ideas
when creating your own work. How simple or complex a piece becomes
is up to you and your own level of experience and personal choice.
Although the emphasis is on developing your own expressive
embroidery, some step-by-step projects are included to help build
confidence before launching out on your own. This is wool applique
embroidery at its best - free, beautiful and generous. A note on
materials: The author recommends using klade and vadmal, which are
both types of Swedish 100% wool fabric of varying weight. They are
made from woven fabric that has an even surface and processed so
there is no visible weave. A good equivalent in the UK is a felted
wool fabric such as Melton wool. Hobby felt containing polyester is
not suitable.
