Omni Stitch

I found working with white materials help me a lot in knowing what processes worked well and what materials are beneficial towards my work. With working in this way I was also introduced on to the omni machine which was engaging because of the effect the machines constructed. With the machines I found that it manipulates lines and gathers it all together to create these repeated forms. I thought this technique was very intriguing and I wanted to see how far I could push my limits in to create something at a bigger scale because the samples I was shown were little. I wanted to create statement pieces with this machine. I manipulated all this white ribbon one a much larger scale. I covered all the fabric so you couldn’t see anything but the lines that the ribbon created. With this the fabric started to form in different ways because of the way I stitched the fabric it was starting to curve around itself and create a form so this generated more ideas and I was so involved in how I could change the lines and fabric to create more unique forms. I also found that by doing this technique it helped me achieve this organic and natural effect because by creating lines and fabric on a much grander scale it was clearer to see how I could manipulate these after to get the drippy effect.
