Martha's Silk Satin Pincushion - January 1st, 2025

This pincushion is inspired by one made by Martha Edlin. She expertly worked counted thread techniques on non-counted silk satin fabric on her pincushion, casket and jewelry box. Originally taught in the COC course, it is being offered as a separate course for those who would like to understand the brilliance of Martha Edlin

The pincushion is worked on a silk satin fabric with the use of waste canvas and Au Ver a Soie Soie Paris threads.  It is backed with pink silk velvet.  The kit contains 13 full tubes of Soie Paris, silk duchesse satin fabric, pink silk velvet backing, needle, waste canvas.  You will need a roller frame to mount the silk satin on tightly.  I offer the same 12" rod/6" side bar set I used in the drop down as an option.  If you need help finding one or checking to see if yours will work, I can give recommendations.
