Richard Box: From Drawing to Free Hand Machine Embroidery

October 9th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

Richard Box is the author of sevaral drawing and illustration books available from SEARCH PRESS. He is as well a well-known sewing machine free-hand embroiderer who works from illustrations of animals, flowers — just about anything to produce wonderful embroidered recreations on textile using straight stitch on a sewing machine.

We caught up with Richard at the 2007 Knitting & Stitching Show at the National Exhibition Centre in England and had the chance to visit his booth and watch some wonderful demonstrations!

    Wow, how have I NOT heard of this man?
    I had to teach myself over the last 5 years and he mentioned most of what I’d suggest to anyone starting this fun and fabulous technique {Btw, always use some foot as it stabilizes your work, focus on where you are going, not where the line is, and drop the feed dogs!}.

    Great tutorial, can’t wait to see more =’)
