Snowman Cutwork Lace

The Snowman Cutwork Lace design can be embroidered both as an insert and as a freestanding ornament. Here are the instructions for both versions.

You will need fabric, water soluble mesh and embroidery threads. Please note that embroidery polyester threads, weight 40, are preferable for the project.
Cotton thread is not suitable because the embroidery will be bulky.
Rayon thread is very sensitive to the chemicals in the watersoluble stabilizers.

Please note that the finishing outline is not even. It will look like fringe on the finished embroidery.

Step One: Hoop 2 layers of water soluble mesh. Start the machine. It will embroider the rectangle and stop.

Step Three: Take the hoop out of the machine. With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the fabric in the areas shown on the picture - around the rectangle, inside the rectangle around the snowman and its broom. Take care not to cut through the stabilizer and stitches.
