Snowmen Cutwork

These are instructions on how to embroider the Snowmen Cutwork design. The design is available in 2 sizes for large (5" x 7") and mega (6" x 10") hoops.
The design can be embroidered as freestanding lace or as an insert. We show both versions.

You will need fabric, water soluble mesh and embroidery threads.

Freestanding Oval

Step One: Hoop 1-2 layers of water soluble mesh. Start embroidering. The machine will embroider the outline of the oval and stop.

Step Two: Place a piece of white fabric over the oval and start the machine. It will embroider the outline of the snowmen and stop.

Step Three: Cut away the fabric around the snowmen. Take care not to cut through the stitches.

Step Four: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.

Step Five: Wash away the stabilizer, neatly spread on a flat surface and leave to air dry. Press if needed.
We made a greeting card with the ready freestanding design.

Snowmen Insert

Step One: Hoop a layer of fabric with a layer of water soluble mesh. Start embroidering. The machine will embroider the outline of the oval and stop.
Cut away the fabric inside the oval. Take care not to cut through the stitches.

Step Two: Place a piece of fabric over the oval and start the machine. It will embroider the outline of the snowmen and stop.

Step Three: Cut away the fabric around the snowmen. Take care not to cut through the stitches.

Step Four: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.

Step Five: Wash away the stabilizer, neatly spread on a flat surface and leave to air dry. Press if needed.
We made a gift bag with the design embroidered on fabric.

The lace is ready. Enjoy!

Happy Embroidering!
