FSL
Easter Egg Set is a set of 7 freestanding lace machine embroidery designs.
These designs are embroidered in the same way as our ornaments, so
please read the General Guidelines
first.

|
Some points to remember from the General Guidelines:
Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer;
Use the same thread for the upper and bobbin to get two-sided embroidery.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. |
| You will need Vilene water soluble stabilizer, embroidery threads and
a 19" x 29" piece of linen fabric. The finished size of the table runner
is about 16 12/" x 27 1/2" . |
Step One: Embroider:
Part 1 - once
Part 2 - once
Part 3 - twice
Part 4 - twice
Part 5 - twice
Part 6 - twice
Part 7 - twice.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. To get neat embroidery,
use thread of the same color for both the needle and bobbin. Rinse the
stabilizer and leave to air dry. |
|
| Step Two: Press all parts with steam. On your working table,
lay out the edge designs on your fabric. Either baste or pin the patterns
in place. |
| Step Three: Thread a needle with the same thread that you used
for the embroidery and, using short but NOT dense zigzag, stitch along
the inner edge of the lace to secure the parts in place. |
| Step Four: Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut away the excess
fabric from under the lace. Return to your machine and using a very dense
zigzag, of the same width as the lace edge, stitch along the edge of the
fabric. Continue to use the same thread with which you embroidered the
designs. |
|
| Step Five: Now place the FSL egg parts at the ends of the table
runner, secure with pins. |
|
| Using short but NOT dense zigzag, stitch along the outline of the eggs
to secure them in place. |
|
| With a sharp pair of scissors, cut away the excess fabric from under
the lace. |
|
| Return to your machine and using a very dense zigzag, of the same width
as the lace edge, stitch along the edge of the fabric. Continue to use
the same thread with which you embroidered the designs. |
