A video of Fray Dikat using their sewing machine to draw using thread. This technique is called freemotion embroidery. The camera is set up just above and in front of the machine so you can only see the needle, the fabric, and Fray's hands. Fray has a wooden embroidery hoop holding several layers of black tulle topped with a thin layer of stabilizer. The stabilzer has 3 red and black dragonfly wings already embroidered on it. In the video, Fray embroiders the third by moving the embroidery hoop under the moving needle of the machine to make the desired design on the fabric. The video does not show the finished wings, but invites the viewers to come back soon for the finished project. Music: Trip to the East Musician: Alexei De Bronhe URL: https://icons8.com/music/
