The FSL
Snowflakes Ornament Covers is a set of 24 Freestanding Lace Machine
Embroidery Designs.
The designs are embroidered in the same way as all 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 needle and bobbin to get two-sided embroidery.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. |
| You will need Vilene water soluble stabilizer and embroidery threads,
either rayon or polyester. |
|
Step One: Each cover consists of two parts. Embroider each part
once.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. 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 with steam. Place the parts onto the
ball - the part with the large opening in the center should go on top,
and the part without the opening in the center should go on the bottom. |
|
|
|
| Step Three: Thread a needle with invisible thread and lace the
parts as shown. This has to be done manually. |
|
| You can also use all sorts of ribbons, beads and tassels to lace and
decorate the balls. |
|
| These parts were decorated with a golden zigzag trim first. |
|
| Then laced together with a string of beads... The number of variations
is infinite! Let your imagination run wild. |
|
| You can also use the covers as snowflakes... |
|
| Or you can assemble them into interesting doilies to decorate your
festive table. |
|
| We hope that you like our ideas and will come up with many of your
own. |
