Sweet Bilby Dreams was a big free motion machine embroidery experiment for me. I decided to do it in sections and then kind of jigsaw it together. I started off by doing the bilby on water-soluble stabiliser called Romeo (it's thicker and better to free motion embroider on than the more commonly used Solvy). I thought with all the stitching I had done the image would hold together once it was washed (you soak and wash it in water and the plastic Romeo dissolves in the water. Above you can see the cloudiness of the water as the Romeo dissolves away.) I do love the photos I took above of the curled up little bilby floating in the water.
