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.
These are instructions on how to assemble the Winter Rose FST Table Set from our catalog. Along with the embroidery files, you will get the color card, which will help you select the threads, and also sort out the many parts of the design.
Step One: To make the bowl, you'll have to embroider five bowl panels and the pentagon for the bottom. The bowl panel is number part #2 in the picture; the bowl bottom is part #4 in the the picture.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer; use the same thread for both the needle and bobbin to get 2-sided embroidery. The embelishments on the panels are in cross-stitch technique - trim all jumps. Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry.
Impotant Note: It's very important to use as small a hoop as possible. E.g. if your design is for a small hoop, use the small hoop, not the large one; if your design is for a large hoop, use large, not mega. Do not try to embroider several freestanding lace designs in one hoop. This is because all water-soluble stabilizers stretch, and in a bigger hoop, they're going to stretch more. This can lead to the design falling apart after the stabilizer is dissolved. It's always better to embroider one part at a time.
Step Two: Press all parts with steam and sew them together with invisible thread. Read instructions on how to do this in our Guide to Assembling a Freestanding Bowl.
With the designs from this set, it's possible to make several different doilies. Using part 6 and 6" x 6" piece of fabric you can make a doily like the one on picture below. Attach lace to fabric with a zigzag stitch.
Using parts 3 (embroider it four times) and part 5 (embroider it once) you can make a a doily as you can see on the pictures above and below.
Use Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. For the doily, you can use white bobbin thread as it doesn't have to be two-sided.
Press all parts with steam and stitch them together using invisible thread.
We used the lace designs( parts 1, 3, 7, and 8) to make this table topper. The designs are attached to the fabric with a zigzag stitch.
Embroider part 1 four times for corners, part 8 twenty times for the edge.
Parts 3 and 7, each embroidered four times, make a circle in the middle of the table topper.
To make this bottle decoration, you'll have to embroider four parts. Use Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. For the bottle vest, you can use white bobbin thread as it doesn't have to be two-sided.
Press with steam and stitch together the parts 9 and 11, and then, 10 and 12 using invisible thread.
Stitch together the top edges of parts 9 and 10.
Insert satin ribbons into the holes and place on the bottle.
We hope that you like our Winter Rose set and the many possibilities it offers. Enjoy!
