NeedleFelting + Stitch: Landscape

Create a needlefelted landscape using wool tops and a commercial felt base. Then add freehand machine stitch and hand embroidered details. Linda's using Madeira threads, Cotona in the machine and Lana for the hand stitch.

This is very creative and absolutely brilliant thank you I bet this can open the door for needle felting for people who has physical disability that might prevent them from trying the hobby for themselves

[@lynettepark1351]

Thank you for sharing your technique, I've seen the landscape pictures on Pinterest, bought a starter set and sat here with it all around me and no idea how to start. I read a quote "buying for crafting and crafting are two completely separate hobbies", which I totally agree with but hopefully now I can make them one, Thank You !!

[@laurakemshall1526]

Best of luck getting started!

Wow, gorgeous landscape! I had not thought of stitching over needle felting before. What a great way to add detail. Thank you for the excellent video!

[@profithandmade.feltingmach115]

Good video!

[@sheilajones4491]

This is truly beautiful I really want to try 2d felting not very good at 3d and as I love my sewing machine this is such a wonderfully inspiring idea. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skill x

[@sweeetfran1]

Heel leuk om te zien hoe je dit landschapje gemaakt hebt. Hij is erg mooi geworden, dank je wel voor het delen.

[@annebulmer1616]

Fabulous. My embellisher arrived yesterday and I’m so looking forward to playing.

[@sd6895]

where you bought it?

[@victoriamcintosh5122]

Beautiful! I came upon this video and it was exactly what I was looking for, plus more! I did not realize there is an actual Felting Machine with stitching, this is a great fine!

[@laurakemshall1526]

Hi Bikt, great that you enjoyed the workshop. We used two different machines - a needle felting machine and then a regular machine to do the stitching. Hope that helps!

[@FOSSILFERN10]

Excellent video! You make it look so do-able and I am less scared to give it a try.

[@cbviau1332]

What an interesting technique. The sky really is the limit. Thank you for sharing.

[@Bananadiva1]

Absolutely exquisite. My embellisher arrived yesterday and I can't wait to recreate some of my imspiration photography in textiles. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

[@DesignMattersTV]

Thank you! Best of luck with your needle felting!

[@SuperShandy777]

Wats an embellisher

[@DesignMattersTV]

@@SuperShandy777 It's a needle felting machine - like a sewing machine, but with felting needles rather than sewing needles.

[@martymorris72]

Watching you with your Embellisher is like watching a Artist with a Paint Brush!! Your talent and eye for color and design is Magnificent! You inspire me to get my embellisher out from under it’s cover and start creating!! Thank you!

[@jenniferhernon3921]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve never seen this before and I would love to give it a try. Can you recommend any books on this technique? Your machine looks like fun and I can see how addicting this felt landscape can be!

[@emmari0601]

Gorgeous! :D

[@Kellycreator]

So pretty! I made a massive mistake selling my old five needle babylock machine a few years ago. I completely lost my mojo and stopped sewing😢. I’ve just now had a complete 180 and am investing in a new one. The babylock is now a twelve needle and has ability to add a yarn or ribbon on a spool. If you were to use a hoop and a water soluble stabiliser on the top, you can draw a design to follow. 😊

[@yvonnecampbell5830]

Very clear instructions

[@hummerklein4902]

Ti scrivo da Roma per capire come fare i quadri con la lana cardata da mettere sul pannolenci grazie mille per la tua splendida spiegazione

[@Fairygoblet]

I love your Technique! I feel like I've learned a lot. Let me share something I've found . If you don't have felt for a background, you can make your own Base by needle felting with a multi needle tool or Machine. It seems like people prefer wet felting, but I don't have the space for it so I just followed an article online and made my own Bass. It's got this interesting handmade look to it. It's not as firm looking as commercial felt but if you do it right it won't pull apart on you.

[@DesignMattersTV]

Great suggestion, thank you for sharing!

[@sd6895]

Great presentation, perfect job. I have a question regarding the felting machine. Where possible to buy a similar machine and what company produces it? thank you for answer

[@DesignMattersTV]

I'm not sure the exact same machine as ours is still available although you might find one second hand. If you Google 'felting machine' or 'embellisher machine' you should hopefully find something. You can also get a felting needle for a standard sewing machine which could be a good option if you just want to try the technique without investing in a whole new machine.

[@tammysoutherland1405]

Would tender touch work on back of art to smooth pictures out?

[@amarjotkaur5955]

Nice mam.

[@joythompson5001]

What was the fabric you use as the base for your landscape. I heard black fabric

[@DesignMattersTV]

Hi Joy, The black fabric is felt which makes the perfect stable base for a project like this.

[@merrickelsner5520]

Sew to make the trees you used a sewing machine with a free movement quilting foot?

[@DesignMattersTV]

Yes that's correct, once the felting is done Linda works freehand to stitch the trees in.

[@betulmodernkece9674]

Merhaba bu keçe iğnesi nerden alabilirim

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

Wow, a home needle felting motorized machine! Can you post the name of this machine or any links to it?

[@DesignMattersTV]

Hi the machine is a Husqvarna Viking ER10 Embellisher

[@lisagilliam631]

I wonder if you can purchase a kit to practice

[@laurakemshall1526]

We don't sell any kits, but I'm sure there must be suppliers out there who sell small quantities of needle felting supplies for you to try.

[@debhughes348]

what kind of sewing machine did you use for felting or was it just a felting foot ?

[@laurakemshall1526]

It's a Huqvarna ER10 embellisher machine 😀

[@debhughes348]

@laurakemshall1526 thanks your pictures are just beautiful keep going..smile
