Mother of Pearl Gold Leaf Purse with Japanese Embroidery using Metal Threads design by Midori Embroidery. (Feb 2025)
If interested in creating this beautiful piece PM me about the details

Just finished a monster Japanese style embroidery frame able to mount 45" by 45" silk fabric. Both the warp and weft bars are scrollable, although, in use only the warp bars will scroll. Scrolling weft bars will tension the fabric. Threaded weft bars will tension the silk fabric. I've attached a picture of the assemble frame before attaching twill tape to the warp (long dimension) bars. Mary and I both contributed to the design as this is the only known existence of this large Japanese style frame. I would love to see other examples if anyone has one.

If you have purchased one of our spool holders then consider this option. Our original spool holder (see photos) is designed to hold one spool of sewing thread up to about 2 inches long with a central hole at least 1/4 inch in diameter. We have been asked to make a larger spool holder that will accommodate up to 10 spools of beading thread or one silk spool.

Please respond to this post if you would be interested in the new larger spool holder. We are taking pre-orders now.
