Machine Embroidery Technical Folder

The next technical folder I had to do was based on embroidery and was again, a 2 and a half week project. This included basic stitches along with more complicated stitches. Although most of the techniques were for decorative purposes some are also for function. As there were many techniques, I have included most of them but not all.
Here are some photos of some of my machine embroidery samples:
