Joined Strips of Fabric

This is another other cool thing an Embellisher can do - I cut strips of fabric, overlapped the raw edges slightly, then ran the machine over them to join the fabric, it creates a lovely lacey join. I added ribbons of organza, (the poly type goes on with lots of thread pulling so it appears very gauzy), and nylon ribbon which joins to the fabric with a puckered effect, really fun. I'm going to use this piece as a background for silk ribbon embroidery and beading.
