A Quick Needle Felted Project

The versatile Janome Embellisher FM725 is a needle-felting machine. The needle-felting machine works much in the same way as a handheld felting needle, except it does all the work! The machine contains five barbed needles that push the fibres into a base fabric, whilst you control the fabric feed. You can needle-felt much more quickly with a machine. Uses for the Embellisher are varied; Create your own textile surfaces, decorate clothes, accessories, household items, blankets etc. with yarns, wool scraps, threads, wool roving or fabrics.

Cheerful Canal Folk Art Motif - Using the Janome FM725 Embellisher

By: Yves Ngoo

Roses & Castles is the colourful canal folk art that was used to decorate working narrow boats in the 19th century. Roses & Castles covered virtually everything in or on the narrow boat – including the vessel itself. The drinking can, the horse’s harness, doors, furniture, lamps, anything and everything was decorated with bright and cheerful chocolate-box designs.

Inspired by the vibrant floral motifs of Folk Art, create a simple but effective needle felted project using the Janome FM725.

Uses for this design are only limited by your imagination. Click on the PDF icon below to download the full guide.
