The fabric background that I made on Sunday is now dry and ready for machine stitching. The feel of this fabric is a lot softer than the original piece, as I have not used diluted P.V.A glue. The P.V.A produced a firm fabric which was o.k on the machine but made my fingers quite sore. This time I used C.M.C available from Art Van Go. Again coloured with Dynaflo colours Brick Red, Ecru and Ochre. I won't start the hand stitched spirals until the weekend as I am going to visit my mother in Buckingham and I don't want to take the machine.
