Free hand embroidery has been technique that I have felt confident with and have used to create a surface and texture on my embroidery samples. Here I have embroidered around the print from the berries. I think that this has been very successful and adds a subtle but effective touch to my work, showing development and progress through different techniques and methods. When creating this I used the free hand embroidery foot and had to sew really slow that I didn't puncher the paper to hard because I found that sewing to fast caused the paper to rip. While completing this sample I was originally leaving cotton threads on so that they hung down, but after seeing this I didn't like it as I thought it too away from the detail on the sample of the stitch and also from the print of the berry. If I was to improve this print I would add other pieces from other samples to create a build up of materials and textures.
