Daylily
FSL Border is a set of 2 Freestanding Lace Machine Embroidery Designs.
The parts of the Daylily
FSL Border Set 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. |
Here are instructions on how to make this doily using the Daylily
FSL Border Set
You will need Vilene water soluble stabilizer, embroidery threads,
a piece of linen fabric measuring about 23" x 23". The finished size of
the doily is about 20" x 20". You can make table linen of any size using
these designs. |
Step One: Embroider square part part eight times and the
narrow border sixteen times.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. To get neat embroidery,
use thread of the same color for the needle and bobbin. Rinse the stabilizer
and leave to air dry. |
| Impotant Note: It's very important to use as small a hoop as
possible. E.g. if your design is for a small hoop, use the small hoop,
not the large one; if your design is for a large hoop, use large, not mega.
Do not try to embroider several freestanding lace designs in one hoop.
This is because all water-soluble stabilizers stretch, and in a bigger
hoop, it's going to stretch more. This can lead to the design falling apart
after the stabilizer is dissolved. It's always better to embroider one
part at a time. |
| Step Two: Press all parts steam. On your working table, lay
out the designs on the fabric and pin in place. |
|
| Thread your machine with the threads you used for embroidery and, using
short but NOT dense zigzag, stitch along the inner edge of the lace
to secure the lace. |
|
| Step Three: Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut away the excess
fabric from under the lace. |
|
| Step Four: 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 design. |

The doily is ready. Enjoy!
