Preparing for machine embroidery…
Preparations for machine embroidery include the development of a tonal or colour palette of threads. In addition to the development of a collection of commercially prepared skeins or reels of embroidery threads, consideration should also be given to the use of home spun threads, as well as the use of commercially prepared skeins or reels of thread that have been modified through the use of colour stripping agents or bleaches, as well as ‘overdyeing’ through the use of natural dyes, commercial dye preparations, inks or even diluted paints. Twisting and spinning techniques can also be used to help create variegated threads.
