Hair pining and Piling

 This weeks samples were based on the piling and hair pining machine techniques. I struggled to like the messy nature of the tailor tacking foot technique  because its less regimented and clear.

I achieved something that i didn't consciously mean to do. the hairy nature of this sample combined with the 'balding' areas makes the piece look as though it is expiring. It gives people the urge to pluck away the built up areas.

I didn't build on my strength in this range of samples which is to combine the machine stitch with hand stitch. I haven't achieved the echo of shapes to the same degree I did in my previous collection of samples.
