Major Project 2005 Hi there I am making a skirt and a bodice with a combination of machine embroidery, ribbon embroidery and beading techniques. It has been inspired by Monique Lhuillier a French Designer and Indian culture.

I think that it would depend on the amount of machine embroidery that you want to do, and the actual garment that you are making. If it is a large amount of embroidery you may find it wasier to work on a more stable fabric such as cotton, although you need to remember that when the fabric is...

Thanks for that. I am not exactly sure what I am doing yet but, I am hoping to have something lined up soon, as I have already missed the first 10 weeks of the HSC because I was at Business College and then overseas.
