You will need Vilene water-soluble stabilizer, polyester or rayon embroidery threads for the blouse, and 50- or 60-weight cotton embroidery threads for the ruffles, three small buttons or beads, and small embellishments (optional). |
|
We have General Guidelines on how to embroider freestanding lace and General Guidelines on how to embroider crochet-style freestanding lace in our tutorial section. If you never worked with our FSL designs before, please read the tutorials, this might be helpful. |
|
Some points to remember from the General Guidelines: Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer; Use the same thread for the needle and bobbin. DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. Make sure you use a sharp needle. |
|
Embroider the blouse with the polyester or rayon embroidery threads. Embroider the ruffles with 50- or 60-weight cotton embroidery thread. It's possible to embroider the ruffle with polyester or rayon. However, in this case, you should use a 40- or 50-weight bobbin thread with a matching color that does NOT have a sheer finish. Cotton or spun polyester (with a matte finish) may be suitable. |
