The FSL
Battenberg Floral Set consists of three designs for computerised embroidery
machines.
The FSL
Battenberg Floral Set is embroidered in the same way as our crochet-style
freestandng lace.
You will find detailed intructions on how to embroider crochet-style
FSL at http://www.advanced-embroidery-designs.com/projects2/guide_fsl_crochet.html |
|
| Most Importantly: ALWAYS make a test stitch-out of the design. This
helps you to select the threads, needles, stabilizers and settings of your
machine correctly. |
Some points to remember from the General Guidelines:
Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer;
Use the same COTTON thread for the needle and bobbin.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. |
| The files from the set are called A, B and C. File A is an insert,
file B is the edge lace and file C is to a corner. |
| Step One: Make a test stitch-out of the designs. If you are
satisfied with the results, embroider the files as many times as you need.
The finished size of our doily is about 13 1/2" x 13 1/2" (35 cm x 35
cm). To make this doily, we embroidered file A once, file B four times
and file C four times. |
|
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. Use the same
cotton thread for both the needle and bobbin.
Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry. |
| Step Two: Press all parts with steam. On your working table,
lay out the designs on a squareof fabric (it should measure about 15" x
15") as shown on the picture below. Pin them in place. |
|
|
| Step Three: Using the short, but not dense zig-zag, topstitch
the lace to the fabric along the the inner edge.
Note: To attach the lace to the fabric use fine polyester of
a matching color. |
|
| With a pair of sharp scissors, cut away the excess fabric. |
|
| Return to your machine, and using short and dense zig-zag stitch along
the inner edge of the lace. |
|
| Step Four: Mark the center of the doily. Pin the insert there.
Repeat the procedure described in Step Three. |
|
| The designs from the set are good for embellishing angular table linen,
curtains, bed linen and clothes. |
| We hope that you liked our idea and will come up with many of your
own. |
