The FSL
Crochet Square Set is a set of 2 machine embroidery designs which can
be used in different projects. Here we show you how it can be used to make
a summer crochet blouse.
|
|
| You will need Vilene water-soluble stabilizer, and 50- or 60-weight
white cotton embroidery threads. For this project we used Signature machine
quilting cotton thread. Our blouse fits a 36"-38" bust. |
|
Before we start, please read our General
Guidelines and Step-by-Step Guide to Embroidering our Crochet-Style FSL
designs; this might be helpful.
|
| Step One: Check over the test stitch-out - if you are satisfied
with it, you can proceed with your work, if you are not satisfied, you
might need to change any of the following: the choice of threads, needles,
fabric or the settings of the machine. Do not proceed with your work until
you are satisfied with the stitch-out.
Note: the test stitch-out should be washed away; until the stabilizer
is washed away you cannot see whether it is sewn correctly. |
| Step Two: Both the front and the back of the blouse are the
same. For each side (back and front) embroider 16 large squares and 2 small
squares. |
| Step Three: Dissolve the stabilizer. Place the parts into a
bowl of warm water. DO NOT use hot water. Change the water several times.
Spread each part flat on an even surface and leave to air dry. Press with
steam. |
| Step Four: On a working table, lay out the embroidered parts
as shown on the diagram, pin them to each other and start stitching. Use
a short zigzag and the same thread that you used for the embroidery. |
|
| Step Five: To make the back, repeat Steps Two and Three. |
| Step Six: Using a short zigzag, stitch the shoulder seams. Then,
stitch down the sides. |
|
|
The blouse is ready. Enjoy!

| Here is another idea for the same FSL
Crochet Square Set. |
|
| In this case we used only the smaller parts of the set. |
