About my embroidery process

All work takes place on one of my two 100+ year old
hand controlled embroidery machines, not a computer

All work done by hand

Chainstitch and Chenille are 2 different stitch types that are performed on my 1930 Singer model 114w103 and 1920 Cornely BCH embroidery machines. Unlike most sewing or embroidery machines, the direction of stitches is controlled by a handle under the work table that rotates in 360 degrees and maneuvers the stitch in the same direction that the handle is pointing. This type of operation allows me to draw on the fabric using the thread to create intricate designs and text. Basically it's a tattoo machine for fabric.

Historically these type of machines were used to embellish pennants, western wear, bowling shirts, and varsity jackets. Because of the versatilely of the machines, the uses are almost limitless and I look forward to pushing those boundaries while honoring the history of these machines and combining it with other modern techniques available in my studio.
