Anni, your video tutorials are wonderful! Easy to understand, beautiful to watch....inspirational! Looking forward to trying this once I find an embellisher! Oh, the ideas are swirling!!!
Hi Annie. I have only just started with the embellisher can you tell me what you generally use as a base fabric. I'm using calico at the moment to practice Love you tutorials you are a true inspiration 🤗
Hi Wendy, I use fabrics for the base that have a loose weave so that they accept the other threads/ribbons/fabrics easily. Soft felt, wools are great to start with. Open weave linens are also fun.
Hi Anni, Enjoyed your vids on embellishing. You mentioned in one of them that you use a Bernina attachment when travelling. Do you attach it to a Bernina sewing machine?
Annie, I have had an embellisher for years but didn't now the process you showed with the Sari ribbon. I love working with Siulk and linen and various silk ribbons and trims. Where can I find more of your videos. I have been subscribed but don't get anything from you? Thanks, Gotsik21 Helene
Is there a general rule about the largest size of a certain fabric, like the relatively thin but strong linen used here, to go by that will fit within the short side of the embellisher machine. Also, I am pleased to discover a fine artist with whom I can identify. Is the finished piece able to be stretched on wooden stretcher bars for display like a painting might be done? Thank you so very much for the demo. I live in Texas but would love to attend a workshop conducted by yourself if you do so.
Hi again Marshall, As you can see the piece under my hands is a huge old linen curtain, so just roll it up so that it will fit under the arm of the machine. Yes, this piece will probably be stretched on stretcher bars just as a canvas would be. I also recently did a two sided piece which I suspended from a sandwich of wooden bars so that it could be hung from the ceiling.........see my blog on this piece.........annihunt.com/2018/08/26/almost-done/
Hi there Kim, I wish I could tell you where to get this thread! I am almost out of it too! A friend purchased it for me as a gift when she was travelling.........I think it was when she was in New Zealand......but not sure. I will contact her and see if she can remember. Thank you for watching! Anni
+Lee Travathan Hi Lee, I hope you managed to sleep a wonderful sleep of colour and lines!! Now to your studio to put your ideas into practice! Best Anni
Indeed! I have wanted to do this for a very long time, but other things in life... like building houses and writing books... stopped me. Now, the needle felting machine is a wonderful friend! And, yes, my mind is full. ;-)
@@AnniHuntTV I certainly will, I have searched high and low to find an embellisher since Babylock stopped making them. I finally found one that is being refurbished and I hope to get it sometime this week. Denim will be the first fabric I try!! I love your work, I'll keep you posted on the denim!!

+paulareeveslmt Thank you Paula, that are so much fun and very freeing without the thread headaches!
My embellisher arrives tomorrow. So excited and so glad I found your videos! Beautiful work
😊
Woo hoo! Send me a note when you start producing !
Will do Annie 😊😊

What are you using as your backing to felt on? I can only find small felt backs and I want to create a larger piece to be framed.
Can you change the needles on the Embellisher easily ? And do you need special needles ? Thank you.
Hi Anni, Enjoyed your vids on embellishing. You mentioned in one of them that you use a Bernina attachment when travelling. Do you attach it to a Bernina sewing machine?
Hi Arlene, yes the attachment goes on the Bernina regular sewing machine. Happy sewing!

How do you service the machine pls?
How much does it cost?
Is there much build up of fluff?
tks
I use an Embellisher frequently and find I need to stabilize my base fabric, I frequently use a wool. Do you always stabilize? If so what do you use?
Hi Becky, I don't usually stabilize , but maybe your wool is fine and less stable than I have used. Stabilize away if you find it helps.

Terrific! Thanks Anni! Love to see what you do and how you do it! Just wonderful!
So glad you liked it!
Onde encontro essa máquina pra comprar ...super ...parabéns pela obra e por compartilhar...
I think they have stopped making this machine, but a used one is a good buy as they are quite simple machines so not much can go wrong with them.
Hi Anni, I'm in the US. Can you tell me where I can purchase Sari thread? Thanks. I'm loving your videos.
Hi there Kim, I wish I could tell you where to get this thread! I am almost out of it too! A friend purchased it for me as a gift when she was travelling.........I think it was when she was in New Zealand......but not sure. I will contact her and see if she can remember.

@@AnniHunt Hi Anni, I found it on Etsy!!
@@kimlaffont9951 that is amazing! Do you have the link?
@@kimlaffont9951 just found it! You are so clever!
@@AnniHunt Oh good. I was hoping it was the right stuff.
You make this process so exciting. I hope I can sleep tonight. ;-) Thank you for being inspiring!
+Lee Travathan Hi Lee, I hope you managed to sleep a wonderful sleep of colour and lines!! Now to your studio to put your ideas into practice!

I am trying to figure out how to make decorative drawstrings (embellished) will this machine work on sequins or jewled fabrics?
Hi Ciera, the sequins and jewels will be an obstacle for the embellisher needles, breakages etc, so be careful.
Where do you get the Sari Threads from?
Hi Lesley, we found them on Etsy, recently. Anni
Do you think it would work on denim?
Yes, Elicia!, I think it would, denim has a sufficiently open weave that it would accept the fibres............let me know how it turns out!
@@AnniHuntTV I certainly will, I have searched high and low to find an embellisher since Babylock stopped making them. I finally found one that is being refurbished and I hope to get it sometime this week. Denim will be the first fabric I try!! I love your work, I'll keep you posted on the denim!!
@@eliciasmith2488 so glad you found a machine!
