Fantastic !
thank you I hope it helped a bit.
What are you using as your backing to felt on? I can only find small felt backs and I want to create a larger piece to be framed.
Hi, I would like to know how to sew with metalic thread ok silk organza. Thank you
🌺🌸 Hi and thanks a lot for your tutorial. You explain really well. I have just inherited a Babylock Embellisher and had no idea at all on how to use it and thanks to your demonstration, I’m starting to see the possibilities. What appeals to me is that it can be a great tool in making artistic pieces that can be framed like what you’re doing and play with transparency and shades, etc.
Can you change the needles on the Embellisher easily ? And do you need special needles ? Thank you.
I have so many ideas. You have some of my similar thoughts . Just a few different textures and possibilities.🙋 THANK You for sharing.
Thank you for your video. I fell in love with your black bird . I want one.😀
thank you so much!
How to embellish clouds
Nice techniques my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊
Could you use the embellished with Solvy in sandwich between fragments of cloth, ribbons and threads?
Annie, I have had an embellisher for years but didn't now the process you showed with the Sari ribbon. I love working with Siulk and linen and various silk ribbons and trims. Where can I find more of your videos. I have been subscribed but don't get anything from you? Thanks, Gotsik21 Helene
Hi Annie, I have a embellished machine and I really haven't use it. Been looking at some of your videos because I am going to really learn it. I have a question where do you get the felt fabric thst looks like fabric?
How do you service the machine pls? How much does it cost? Is there much build up of fluff? tks
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you. I recently bought an embellisher machine and absolutely love using it. The possibilities really are endless.
Ании, Благодарю Вас за прекрасное видео! С большим удовольствием пересматриваю его уже несколько лет! Вы вдохновляете меня Наташа Грачева
Oy! Bol'shoye vam spasibo za to, chto podpisalis' na menya. Moy videooperator ochen' khochet, chtoby ya nachal snimat' ikh bol'she, tak chto prodolzhayte smotret'!
Muito lindas as peças...parece ter uma infinidade de possibilidades ....misturando texturas e fazendo coisas lindas ....mas onde comprar uma máquina dessas ????
look out for used/second hand machins on ebay or
Muito obrigada pela atenção ....com certeza vou procurar .... é maravilhosa
Onde encontro essa máquina pra comprar ...super ...parabéns pela obra e por compartilhar...
I think they have stopped making this machine, but a used one is a good buy as they are quite simple machines so not much can go wrong with them.
What types of sewing foot can you use on a regular sewing machine? Thank you for sharing this video!
Hi Bikt, not sure if I understand your question.......can you be more specific?
@@AnniHunt , if there is any foot feed that can be used to give the same sewing technique as a Feeding machine or embellishing technique on a regular sewing machine.
@@victoriamcintosh5122 ah, I get you. Well as I said, Bernina has a felting foot/kit that you can attach to their machines. It works really well. I have not checked into any other companies to see if they do a special foot /kit for felting. NB It is the needles that do the felting, they are "burred" on the tips (i.e. roughed up and jagged) so you use the 'burred' needles to felt the fabrics together. So, included in the kit is an attachment that accepts 6-10 of these burred needles to meld/felt the sandwich of fabrics together. I hope this answers your question. Anni
@@AnniHuntOh thank you so much! Yes, this answers my question and thoughts. I'm actually working on my Thesis Proposal with an Arts-Based Method and this is perfect! Have a great day!
@@victoriamcintosh5122 Great, would love to see it!
Where do you get the Sari Threads from?
Hi Lesley, we found them on Etsy, recently. Anni
Love your work, Anni. Really inspiring.
Kim, thank you so much. I had forgotten about this short video........I think all of the pieces sold as I don't have them here anymore LOL.
Hi Anni, I'm in the US. Can you tell me where I can purchase Sari thread? Thanks. I'm loving your videos.
Hi there Kim, I wish I could tell you where to get this thread! I am almost out of it too! A friend purchased it for me as a gift when she was travelling.........I think it was when she was in New Zealand......but not sure. I will contact her and see if she can remember. Thank you for watching! Anni
@@AnniHunt Hi Anni, I found it on Etsy!!
@@kimlaffont9951 that is amazing! Do you have the link?
@@kimlaffont9951 just found it! You are so clever!
@@AnniHunt Oh good. I was hoping it was the right stuff.
When i try this i just end up with a huge knot in the bottom thread. Any tips?
Hi there Sebastian, I am not sure what may be the problem, but it sounds like a tension setting problem. Also, I have a 'sandwich' of fabric which I am stitching into, so check that you have a good solid foundation to stitch into. Do you have your feed-dogs down? Go slowly and don't over stitch it. Let me know how it does and we can trouble shoot some more. Anni
Nifty!
Thank you! X
Hello, I've tried to find the Embellisher machine, but apparently no longer make them. Any ideas on where I can get one or something similar?
Hi there Marie-Helene, I heard this a while ago and was so sad to hear this. However I do know that a lot of people buy these and never use them because they don't know what to do with them! So you can easily find them used, and for sale on various online forums......(etsy/ebay/amazon or local sales).....and because the machine is so simple (mechanically) there is not much to go wrong with it so they are like new!.........good luck in finding one. My girlfriend in England wants to sell hers...........where are you?
I'm in Maryland. I'm thinking the same as you. Folks don't know what to do with them, so they put them away. I'm looking and it doesn't look like I'm too far off from finding one. Keeping my fingers crossed. I think something local would be better than England. Thanks for your quick response though.
We are just start 😂 but your work it's fantastic!
Thank you Jelena!
That crow is creeping me out
He's just reading quietly!
Do you think it would work on denim?
Yes, Elicia!, I think it would, denim has a sufficiently open weave that it would accept the fibres............let me know how it turns out!
@@AnniHuntTV I certainly will, I have searched high and low to find an embellisher since Babylock stopped making them. I finally found one that is being refurbished and I hope to get it sometime this week. Denim will be the first fabric I try!! I love your work, I'll keep you posted on the denim!!
@@eliciasmith2488 so glad you found a machine!
Terrific! Thanks Anni! Love to see what you do and how you do it! Just wonderful!
So glad you liked it!
Thank you for inspiring me. X
Thank you for watching! :))
Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! :))
Thank you very much, but I can't find this machine on the internet ... Where is it? Thanks.
Here you go Helena hobbylock embellisher 7
@@AnniHuntTV thank you.
I could watch your lessons all day with a bigg smile for it opend so many doors of fantasy and making it..thank you so much.You have a nice voice to listen to and good explaining..grt from the Netherlands
What type machine ?
Babylock.
Ann your fabric is beautiful I'm just learning about the baby loc embellisher is that the machine you are using if so I so want this machine!!!! can you switch out the needle and do the free motion you are doing within the little circle or is that all twelve needles doing that I love how it does your yarn!!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration love your art work!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Chloe, so sorry not to have seen your comment before. This machine is only for embellishing, so it cannot 'stitch' with any threads. It only machine felts fabrics together. As I said, it is quite freeing to 'stitch' without threads so to speak.
Hi Annie, I am Paula Roland of the Roland HOTbox that you reviewed. First thank you for the review! It seems you like the Roland HOTbox as much as I do, and you had the same issues with a griddle as I did, those that me led to my developing and manufacturing the HOTbox. Adding a couple of comments: Most of the suggestions you had for us have already been implimented! Several years ago we created a new dimmer, and we also added an heat sensor to keep the temperature development safe. Please note that the Roland HOTbox is now available through Vent-A-Fume at www.ventafume.com/roland-hotbox-for-encaustic/ Additional info on it is as RolandWorkshops.com, along with fabulous workshops in Encaustic Monotype and other techniques that include use of the authentic Roland HOTbox! Do please visit. Thanks again, Paula
Hi Paula, yes i love my hotboxes (I have two side by side) and it was a while ago that I did the review. Vent-a-fume have been in touch and have updated me on the recent improvements. Which sounds great. They have offered me a discount on the new and improved version if I would care to update my review.........I don't really need any more hotboxes, but may still do an updated review anyway:)) Love your work and wish I could attend one of your workshops one day...........
Hi Anni, Enjoyed your vids on embellishing. You mentioned in one of them that you use a Bernina attachment when travelling. Do you attach it to a Bernina sewing machine?
Hi Arlene, yes the attachment goes on the Bernina regular sewing machine. Happy sewing!
Just fabulous - and so pertinent time-wise! Fell upon you! Thanks Anni, with warm greetings from Cape Town, South Africa....Toody - a brand new machine embellisher user! So clear and informative and inspiring!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! More coming soon, so watch this space! Let me know what you create! Anni
I've come late to the party, but really enjoyed this 2013 video today!
Beautiful!
Thank you Anne, I cringe sometimes when I see my first attempts at teaching videos as we didn't do any close ups for you to see the stitching.!! We did improve however and we need to get back into posting new ones! They were fun to produce! Happy stitching!
Awesome, thank you 🙏
I hope you were inspired to create some beautiful pieces!
This is amazing! Thank you. The technique is so much fun, and your video is clear and informative. I look forward to trying this.
Thank you
I am trying to figure out how to make decorative drawstrings (embellished) will this machine work on sequins or jewled fabrics?
Hi Ciera, the sequins and jewels will be an obstacle for the embellisher needles, breakages etc, so be careful.
So inspiring, thank you!
So glad it helped Sylvie!
My embellisher arrives tomorrow. So excited and so glad I found your videos! Beautiful work 😊
Woo hoo! Send me a note when you start producing !
Will do Annie 😊😊
What brand is your machine?
Janome
i want to know too. Thank you
kidswan1 janome
Anni Hunt Thank you so much
thank you
This technique seems easy and open to all kinds of ideas to add to created clothing which is what I plan to do.
I know Bryan! It is so easy, and if you don't like it you can tease it off gently. Have fun! Anni
Love your videos. My hubby is going through leukemia and I've found I love watching embellishing and want to get an embellisher to help make fundraiser items for him.
Thank you Teresa! I hope you get your embellisher to make your fundraiser items! Watch out for new videos to come at the end of summer.
Thank you Teresa, I just met with my videographer this week, so stay tuned for more!
Your small finished pieces as fine art are so very effective, sensitive and simply beautiful abstract works. They would seem so cost effective to sell on the mat board in a plastic sleeve, leaving the framing preferences to the collector. Do you
Hi Marshall, yes that is exactly what I do! Always like to have some affordable art pieces when I am exhibiting. Then someone can go home with a little treasure to remind then of my work, without having to invest a lot of their hard earned money. Anni
Yes that is precisely what I do Marshall. At my shows I like to have some 'affordable' art for everyone!
Is there a general rule about the largest size of a certain fabric, like the relatively thin but strong linen used here, to go by that will fit within the short side of the embellisher machine. Also, I am pleased to discover a fine artist with whom I can identify. Is the finished piece able to be stretched on wooden stretcher bars for display like a painting might be done? Thank you so very much for the demo. I live in Texas but would love to attend a workshop conducted by yourself if you do so.
Hi again Marshall, As you can see the piece under my hands is a huge old linen curtain, so just roll it up so that it will fit under the arm of the machine. Yes, this piece will probably be stretched on stretcher bars just as a canvas would be. I also recently did a two sided piece which I suspended from a sandwich of wooden bars so that it could be hung from the ceiling.........see my blog on this piece.........annihunt.com/2018/08/26/almost-done/
