In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Pete Tarrant.

Pete is a digitised embroidery specialist, teacher and advocator for this emerging craft form. In this second part of our NeedleXChange we dig into the digitizing technique and how it has evolved as a craft form, as well as exploring Pete's cultural touchpoints.

If you want more machine stitched inspiration then my XChange with Julie Heaton is worth a listen!
