Pete Tarrant - Digitising Demigod [NX059]

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 first part of our NeedleXChange we find out how Pete became involved in the world of digitised machine embroidery and then we focus on a major project that he undertook last year - The Anointing Screen for the Coronation of King Charles III.

Be sure to tune in next week for Part 2 of our NeedleXChange and if you want more machine stitched inspiration then my XChange with Meredith Woolnough is a must-listen!
