RE: [AussieFeltmakers] Re: wall hangings

Hi Ruth

 

Hope you took a look at Julie’s pics in the photos, she has made some beautiful wall hangings, Julie is also our travelling feltmaker, having travelled overseas with her feltmaking!!!

 

An embellisher looks like a basic sewing machine but instead of having a sewing needle it is loaded with a number of felting needles ranging from 5 needles in some models up to 12 needles in the top of the range. These are a little different to the felting needles we use for hand needlefelting as they are shorter with some of the shaft cut off. There is a number of different models available priced from the low $300 up to over $1000. I love mine, but they are not everyone’s cup of tea!

 

Make sure you let us know how you go with the wallhangings!

 

Cheers

 

Sandie (who is starving – hubby offered to cook dinner but it is now 7.08pm and still no food – smells great but I need some on a plate!!)
