I made sure that I was pushing myself to take risks and learn skills that I hadn't used before the first thing that I learnt was using the ethos machine. You out designs into a special computer you scan images in and copy around them the machine is limited to the stitches that it can do it can only do three stitches a satin stitch, running stitch and fill stitch. I was able to stitch out two designs the first one was more of a practice one rather than a full design but my second one came out very well and was very pleased with the way it came out.
Another new methood which I learned was to use the embelisher a very simple machine which simply pulls at the threads of the fabrics you can deconstruct and make material look work and you felt two pieces together. Below is a image where it worked really well I embelished a small section to create another surface to create a collage look.
