However, I am currently enjoying playing around with the making 'lace' aspect of machine embroidery. I have used a product called Mac-rinse that is good for sewing on and will dissolve when I put it in warm water. I think I prefer it to water soluble film as it seems firmer, doesn't stretch as much. But you can't see through it, so the transparent film has some advantages.
I am working on a design that is derived from the bark tapestry I did last year, so still on the same theme - not that it looks much like it.
I haven't washed it out yet (as I haven't finished it) and I hope I am getting all the connecting pieces done properly or I'll be very disappointed when it all falls apart. I have included some sari silk pieces for extra texture and colour.

Wow, how awesome! You look like you don't need the course ;)
I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes!
Thanks Michelle, I am pleased with how it is going. The course has opened up a lot of ideas for me, now I just have to get the techniques better.
