Having
an appreciation for hand sewn applications, buy a need for faster results, Phyllis
began to adapt those techniques to a sewing machine. She found several books available as others
have also explored this idea. Hand
embroidery, hand quilting, and braided rug making can be imitated by machine
techniques. The sewing machine can also
produce landscapes with comparative results to canvas and paints through thread
painting techniques. Rag wool appliques mimic traditional rug hooking. Her favorite is fabric pottery. Made with fabric wrapped clothesline, the
"potter" (sewist) determines the shape of the pottery, using a
"wheel" (sewing machine). One is only limited by their imagination.
