FSL
Paisley Corner Set is a set of 4 Freestanding Lace Machine Embroidery
Designs.
The parts of the FSL
Paisley Corner Set are embroidered in the same way as 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 two doilies using the
FSL
Paisley Corner Set
You will need Vilene water soluble stabilizer, and embroidery threads.
The diameter of the first doily is 19". |
|
Step One: To make one corner part, you'll have to embroider
each design of the set once. So to make this doily, embroider each design
four times.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. To get 2-sided
embroidery, use the thread of the same color for both 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 with steam. On your working table,
lay out the designs as shown on the above picture. Thread a needle with
the same thread that you used for the embroidery and stitch together the
parts in the places where the parts touch each other.You will get a lace
corner. This has to be done manually. |
| Step Three: Place all four corners together and, using the same
thread that you used for the embroidery, and dense zigzag, stitch all four
corners together. |
|
|
The first doily is ready.
|
|
We made the second doily, using only the circle part of the FSL
Paisley Corner Set.
The finished size of it is 16 1/3" x 26". |
|
| We embroidered the circle part sixteen times and stitched them together
manually. |
|
| We hope that you liked the FSL
Paisley Corner Set and the possibilities it presents. |
