Collage Clutch

This purple clutch is made using Frond fabric, the punchwork tool for my Bernina 830, and a clutch frame from Pink Sand Beach Designs. Using Designer Plus V7 made it easy to use the punchwork tool.  The design for punchwork is much like a very close stipple stitch and is part of the digitized design.  This was my first attempt at using this tool and it is easy to use.  It does leave some fuzz in the bobbin area that must be removed. 

This is the project for the May lesson of Software Inspirations.  I did enjoy using the punchwork tool although I am not sure how much I would really use it.  Many of my stitching friends have a machine dedicated to felting.  I have a lot of projects that are in need of completion, so I will think about this for a while.
