Claire, have you considered hosting a group on a social media platform to have a prompt every month for a project for other sewers to try your techniques. It seems to be all the rage now. Your collages are so inspiring . I hope you dont mind but I am going to try to create some echinacea this month. Next month maybe another type of flower or feathers. I do have lots of batik scraps which seem to work great for collages. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your video, try having some baby wipes handy for your sticky hands. Also if you press your project using baking parchment it will help set the glue without getting bits stuck to the iron xxx
I suddenly felt inspired to have a go and did alongside your video. I'm really pleased and surprised with the result. I wish I could send you a photo. Thank you so much for sharing your skills.😊
I just now discovered your channel! Man, I should have saved my teeny tiny scraps for a project like this, I guess. I just stuffed them ALL into a little pillow (even the threads from my projects LOL). Oh well, there will be many, many more scraps in the very near future.
Hello Claire, I love this beautiful echinacea flower collage you created! Love all the colors of batiks! 😊 Also i was wondering about the free motion foot you used. It is smaller and plastic , is it a foot you use for the smaller fabric shapes that you are sewing on? Thank you for this really nice video tutorial! ❤
Thank you for your comment. The foot is called a darning foot or freemotion embroidery foot, most sewing machine companies sell them as extras. Happy stitching.🪡🧵♥️
Thank you for your comment. I use all sorts of thread, I am not brand loyal so use rayons, cottons and polyesters of any machine weight. An embroidery or metalic needle and an easy feed stand is a must for my machine.
I did this one and am trying to attach flowers with metallic thread. I'm having trouble with the stitches not catching the bobbin thread. Any suggestions?
To get the best results with metallic thread I always use a separate thread/cone stand that sits behind and still feeds in from the top as normal. I replace my regular needle with a Schmetz metallic needle, it has been designed specifically for metallic threads. Both products can be purchased from www.silverviscount.co.uk/. I hope that helps, happy sewing.
I love this 💕💕 but..NO criticism intended and me being anal as........I used to do floral art and my fingers are itching to remove 1 flower leaving 5 only......for the most part, nature doesn't like even numbers
Inspiring! The batik fabric is an excellent choice for these gorgeous coneflowers.
Thank you 🪡♥️🧵
I loved the way you built up the flowers, the batik gave the project a nice effect.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Happy stitching.
I just love watching your story emerge from the fiddly bits!
Thank you Nancy.

Lovely! Coneflowers are my favorite!
Mine too, but I can not grow them very well. So creating them is the next best thing.
Замечательная работа!!! Очень понравилась идея использования мелких остатков кусочков тканей! Спасибо большое!!!❤❤❤

Really like this. Purple coneflowers is one of my favorites. Really nice and the frame is just beautiful! Can't wait to try this. 👍🥰

Thank you, that is good to know. I think ive seen one in my collection of feet, but never knew the purpose.. always use the open toe!😊
I have started my jar of fiddly bits.
Great, soon you will have enough to use. Happy stitching.🧵🪡
