free-motion embroidery
Free-motion embroidery is a sewing technique that allows the fabric to move freely under the needle, creating intricate designs and patterns. Unlike traditional embroidery, where the fabric is usually held in place, this method enables the artist to guide the fabric in any direction, resulting in unique and personalized artwork.
To achieve free-motion embroidery, a special foot called a free-motion foot is used, which lifts the presser foot to allow for unrestricted movement. This technique is popular among quilters and textile artists, as it offers endless creative possibilities and can be used to embellish various projects, from clothing to home decor.
