From western wear, to name patches and letterman jackets, chainstitch embroidery was utilized in all styles of casual and work wear. Unlike most sewing or embroidery machines, chainstitch machines are controlled by hand underneath the table, allowing for unique free-motion pieces (like a tattoo, but with thread!)

All the chainstitch embroidery I do is done on my 1920's Singer 114w103 (her name is Josephine!). I am inspired by everything from hand lettering and tattoo styles, to inspiration from nature, pop culture, vintage and puns (a lot of them).

Thanks for your support!
