These are instructions on how to embroider the FSL Applique Lace Daisy Border designs. The border is split into 2 parts. The designs are available in 2 sizes for the large (5" x 7") and mega (8" x 10") hoops.
On the photo you can see a placemat and a doily with the motifs for the large and mega hoops.
One of the advantages of the design is that you embroider each pattern separately and then incorporate them into a larger project - this means you don't risk ruining your project if something goes wrong during embroidery.
You will need fabric for the applique, water soluble mesh and embroidery threads.
Step One: Hoop 2 layers of water soluble mesh. Upload the first file into your machine. Start embroidering. The machine will embroider the outline of the design and stop.
Step Two: Cover the outline with fabric and start the machine. The machine will embroider the outline of the lace and stop.
Step Three: Take the hoop from the machine. With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the fabric in the areas shown on the picture.
Step Four: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.
Step Five: Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the second file.
Step Six: Neatly cut away the excess stabilizer around the parts. Position the parts together and using the same threads with withich you made embroidery hand-stitch the parts together.
Wash away the remaining stabilizer, neatly spread on a flat surface and leave to air dry. Press if needed.
