Free download: Machine smocking

4 Comments

Machine-smocking design by SWAKembroidery.comI adore smocking on children’s clothing, but I’ve never had the gumption to try it myself. It seems too precise for my skills and too time-consuming for my schedule. SWAKembroidery.com has an answer for folks like me. They’re offering machine-embroidery patterns that create the look of smocking in a fraction of the time of hand-smocking. Do a site search for “smocking” to turn up lots of charming designs, such as the one shown here. And download a free background design to try it out.

    Do you know where I might find the Alphabet letters for machine smocking. My Daughter in law is interested in some little outfits that are smocked.
