Creating samples with a woven effect whilst using the ETHOS software and the Pfaff machine was easy as by changing the tension on the top thread and keeping the bobbin thread the same colour throughout the sample, allowed a speck of top colour to seep through underneath stitching optically on both sides.

Exploring the ETHOS machine to widen my technical skills was successful as during this unit I have been signed off on the machine. This was a result of enlarging the scale of my design. The sample above is created by a block of eight by eight circles (obi stitch, pitch 0.75), and stitched onto a coated striped denim fabric. It was stitched out in the larger sash frame - this meant that for the scale of fabric that I was stitching on it had to be precisely measured centrally to created a layered optical effect without flaws.
