Steps To Complete
Battenburg lace designs are embroidered onto water-soluble stabilizer. When the stabilizer is soaked away, beautiful lace remains behind. |
Battenburg lace is digitized for 30-35 weight cotton thread. This thread brings a classic, hearty, and traditional look to the lace pieces. |
You will use the same thread in both the top and the bobbin. Wind a bobbin with the cotton thread. |
After embroidering, trim the excess stabilizer away. |
To make a doily with the Celtic knot design, embroider the knot design six times. |
Zigzag stitch the pieces together along the side edges where the lace pieces touch. Use the same cotton thread in the bobbin and needle that you used to embroider the designs. |
This Celtic lace doily mimics the shape of a star when finished. Use it for a decorating year-round -- even at Christmastime! |
