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 make the Poppy Meadow 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 six panels and the hexagon as a bottom. The bowl panel is the one in the upper left corner of the picture. The bowl bottom is right under the panel.
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 poppies are in the cross-stitch technique, and there will be jump stitches. 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.
Step Three: To make a doily, you'll have to embroider eight doily panels and the circle as the center part. The doily panel is in the upper right corner of the picture. The doily's center is in the second row, directly under the panel. For the doily, you can use white bobbin thread as it doesn't have to be two-sided.
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 on the picture can be used as coasters, or arranged in different ways to make doilies, table runners and table toppers. See the photos below.
We also have a Poppy design in our Catalog, which can be used to make this beautiful table cloth. The poppy bowl compliments it very nicely and together they make a wonderful gift.
