In The Teaching of Clothing and Textiles module, we did machine embroidery. 

The computerized sewing machine that we usedhas more than 900 embroidery stitches with functions such as combining row of alternate decorative stitch. In our competency profile 2 assignment, we played with other different functions of the machine such as altering the stitch width and length, vertical mirror image, horizontal mirror image (up), horizontal image (down), long stitch function and pattern extend function.
