Steps To Complete
|
Freestanding lace designs have been specially digitized for water-soluble stabilizer. After the stabilizer is removed, beautiful lace remains behind. |
|
There are a couple of different kinds of water-soluble stabilizer. One is clear and plastic, and that brand is Sulky Ultra Solvy. The other is soft and fibrous, called Vilene. Both will work very well. |
|
Freestanding lace is seen from both sides, so wind a bobbin with the same thread that you're using in the needle. |
|
Hoop the stabilizer firmly. Make sure it is nice and tight with no wrinkles. |
|
Load the design into your machine. |
|
After embroidering, cut the excess stabilizer away. |
|
The stabilizer's packaging should give instructions for removing the excess. |
|
Air dry, then press using a pressing cloth. |
|
Repeat this process for a total of twelve lace pieces. |
|
Sew in place with a straight stitch -- follow along the center of the side border of the top piece of lace. |
|
Align the third piece on top of the second piece, right sides up, overlap the side borders, and sew a straight stitch along the center of the side border of the top piece. |
|
Wrap the skirt around the base of your tree for a stunning holiday look. It's the perfect size for small or tabletop trees. |
|
Or, skip the tree itself and use this skirt for any Christmas centerpiece! It's a beautiful way to add an embroidered touch to holiday decorating. |
