MULTI HEAD EMBROIDERY

Experimenting with different methods to create pattern.
The multi head is a piece of equipment i have not used yet. At this stage I am only trying the equipment to help progress my ideas for the next unit, I did it to see if I would be able to develop other methods to create pattern design through 3 dimensional stitch which you would expect to see but appears as something else once touched, possible that it has been digitally printed on the laser cutter.

The process of threading up the machine was relatively simple. However I made a mistake of not generating the stitches again once I had made my stitching pattern and resized it. This meant that rather than being an area of fill stitch that should be a block of stitch there were small gaps. I actually quite like the look of this, it was wrong but maybe a happy accident...
From doing this I have now got another skill for the next unit and it has given me another view of how I could recreate recognisable pattern but flip it on it's head eg. creating lace through the multihead
