| The FSL
Crochet Easter Eggs is a set of seven machine embroidery designs. These
patterns can be used as ornaments or as bookmarks. Here we also show how
they can be used to make a greeting card. |
Easter Tree ornaments
|
The designs should be embroidered as we recommend in our General
Guidelines and Step-by-Step Guide to Embroidering our Crochet-Style FSL
designs.
They should be embroidered with 30-, 40- or 50-weight 100% cotton
thread.
We used cotton Signature thread for machine quilting. Seed beads, tassels
and narrow satin ribbons were used for embellishing. |
Some points to remember from the General Guidelines:
Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer;
Use cotton thread;
Use the same thread for the needle and bobbin.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop.
Make sure you use a sharp needle. |
| Embroider a design. Dissolve the stabilizer. So that the design dries
evenly, spread it on a flat surface and let it air dry. Then press with
steam. The ornament is ready to be placed on a tree. |
| For a greeting card, you'll need a cardstock stack. |
|
| Place the finsihed patterns on the card. With a regular pencil mark
the inner outline of the egg, as shown. |
|
| Put the patterns aside, draw an egg shape 1/4" from the initial marks. |
|
| With a pair of scissors or a craft knife, cut away the paper inside
the shape. |
|
| Spread glue around the edge of the cut-outs and place the designs over
them. Lay under a weight for an hour or so. |
|
| The cards now are ready. Enjoy! |
