FSL
Meadow Flower Doily is a set of 5 freestanding lace machine embroidery
designs.
These designs are embroidered in the same way as 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 upper and bobbin to get two-sided embroidery.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. |
| You will need Vilene water soluble stabilizer, embroidery threads and
a 14" x 15" piece of linen fabric. The finished size of the table runner
is about 14" x 15" . |
|
| Step One: Embroider each part twice. Use 2 layers of Vilene-type
water-soluble stabilizer. To get neat embroidery, use thread of the same
color for both the needle and bobbin. Rinse the stabilizer and leave to
air dry. |
| Step Two: Press all parts with steam. Lay out the designs on
your working table. Thread a needle with the same thread that you used
for the embroidery and sew the parts together in the places where they
touch each other. |
| Step Three: Lay the lace frame on your fabric. Either
baste or pin the lace in place. |
|
| Thread a needle with the same thread that you used for the embroidery
and, using short but NOT dense zigzag, stitch along the inner edge of the
lace to secure it in place. |
|
| Step Four: Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut away the excess
fabric from under the lace. |
|
| Return to your machine and using a very dense zigzag, of the same width
as the lace edge, stitch along the edge of the fabric. Continue to use
the same thread with which you embroidered the designs. |

The doily is ready. Enjoy!
