Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Cutwork
Lace is very versatile and has a large variety of uses, from decorating
linen and clothes to creating doilies and coasters. One of the most attractive
ways to make use of your extra lace embroideries is cutwork. Firm, tightly
woven fabrics which do not fray easily are essential for cutwork.
You do not need stabilizer for these types of fabric. Just follow these
four easy steps.
|
Step One: Stitch the design out without stabilizer.
In this example we used a design from the highly popular Lace
Doily Set.
Step Two: After you have finished the design, iron it and begin
to cut out pieces of fabric between the embroidered areas. Use sharp-pointed
scissors, it will be much easier. |
 |
Step Three: Make sure you do not cut the threads of the
embroidery.
Step Four: When you are finished cutting, iron the design once
more. |
