You will need a 11" x 11" piece of pre-washed cotton or linen fabric
(we used heavy-weight linen), water-soluble Vilene stabilizer, cotton
embroidery threads for the lace. We used white Signature-brand quilting
cotton thread for the lace. The finished size of the doily is about 17"
x 17".
Step One: Embroider the bunny lace eight times.
Trim the stabilizer close to the designs, leaving at least 3/4" around
each design. DO NOT dissolve the stabilizer yet.
Step Two: Using short but not very dense zigzag, connect each
two panels. Then place the paired panels to form a square and zigzag together.
You will get a lace frame.
Step Three: Place the lace frame over the fabric and stitch
it to the fabric along the inner edge. Use zigzag or any other bridge stitch
from your machine.
Step Four: With a pair of very sharp scissors cut away the excess
fabric from under the lace.
You can now go ahead and dissolve the water-soluble stabilizer.
Spread to air dry. Press. The doily is ready. Enjoy!
