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 the instructions on how to assemble the Oriental Bowl and Doily 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 as the bottom. On the picture, the bowl panel is the one in the first row on the right. The pentagon is directly under the bowl panel, in the second row on the right.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer and use the same thread for both the needle and bobbin to get 2-sided embroidery. The flower of lotus is made in cross-stitch technique. After finishing the embroidery, trim all the jumps.
Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry.
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.
To make this doily, you'll have to embroider seven doily panels and the polygon as the center. The doily panel is in the top row on the left of the picture. The doily polygon is right under the panel, on the left.
Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble stabilizer. For the doily, you can use black bobbin thread as it doesn't have to be two-sided. After finishing the embroidery, trim all the jumps. If you wish, you can use black organza for the doily.
Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry. Press with steam and stitch the parts together using invisible thread.
The parts in the third row can either serve as coasters or can be turned into another type of doily.
