A couple of weeks ago I treated myself to an embellisher after resisting for as long as possible. Today was the first chance I have had to play on it .
This was done on painted Timtex and has wool roving (acquired at Woolfest last year), silk fancy yarn, ribbons and some Madeira gold FS thread used to embroider a little with a Bernina 180. The rest is just some stripped down silk flowers which allow a 3D effect.
I found it very useful to catch it all under some dress net to stop it moving whilst doing the needlepunching. The needles seem to go
straight through the holes in the net and then it just lifts straight off.
