These are the instructions on how to make Freestand
Lace Doilies with fabric.
|
|
| For the doily, you'll need a piece of fabric large enough to fit in
your hoop, and Vilene-type water soluble stabilizer . |
| Step One: Hoop two layers of Vilene-type water soluble stabilizer.
Place a piece of fabric over the stabilizer. If you wish, you can attach
the fabric to the stabilizer with a couple of baste stitches, pins or with
temporary adhesive. |
|
| Step Two: Start embroidering the design. First your machine
will stitch a baste-stitch to secure the working field. Then, it will embroider
the outline of the design. |
|
| Step Three: After the outline is finished, take the hoop out
of the machine (do not take the embroidery out of the hoop!) and, working
with very sharp scissors, cut away the baste-stitch, then the excess fabric
as close to the outline as possible. |
|
|
| Step Four: Insert the hoop back into the machine and finish
the embroidery. |
|
|
|
Step Five: Rinse the stabilizer away and leave to air dry.
Press with steam.
|
|
The doilies are ready. We hope that you like them!
