Designer Needle Felting
Published by Lark Books
 

Pintuck Landscapes with machine felting... It feels so natural to indicate a few
lines before adding color. (This is
the opposite of quilting!)


After stitching you can color between the lines or across them with fiber. Blur the lines here and there. Or make them disappear entirely. Beginner landscape design tips included.

Leaf Tutorial... This was the very first machine needle felting tutorial published on the internet, worldwide. It’s in the Library of Congress!
The new BERNINA rotary punch tool #45 expands the possibilities enormously and well beyond what was possible “back then.” Still a usable fiberella-technique, it remains here for you to print and to view. Learn how the lighter leaf shown below was created.

Use this Fiberella technique to create soft, washable motifs.
Vary the thickness to alter the drape.
Make a leaf, or let your imagination take its own shape.
Enjoy!
