Congratulations it is so beautiful, and I hope a real success.
I love that Gallery I came there many years ago to do some research on make do and mend, and they asked me if I could fix their Cornelli machine, but I only know how to use an Irish embroidery machine, well I have one so I use that ....good Show Ellen xxx

Thank you Sandy, it's lovely to hear from you again :)

Hello Lynn, how interesting....I didn't know that they had a Cornelli machine, but then things may have changed as it now belongs to Colchester Institute who took it over about 2 years ago for their Masters Degree.
I have been on the lookout for a Cornelli machine for quite a while...is the Irish Embroidery machine similar? I havenot seen one.

Hi Ellen hope all is going well xxxx
The Irish has no foot feed and no foot it is all free hand embroidery.....Alice Kettle uses one for her work it is just a needle so the work is usually held in a ring..it does have satin stitch, that looks gorgeous.
Ask about the cornelli it was kept in the room where the volunteers used to meet upstairs...large lofty room and it was against the wall in the corner by the door Good Luck xxxx
