The Cutwork Triangles is a set of 3 designs. Each design can be embroidered both as an insert and as a freestanding ornament. Here are the instructions for both versions.
You will need fabric, water soluble fabric-like stabilizer (such as Fabri-Solvy by Sulky, Avalon Plus by Madeira, Wash-Away, Aqua Magic) and embroidery polyester threads.
Please note, we DO NOT recommend to use rayon embroidery threads with water soluble mesh because its chemicals ruin the thread.
All three designs are embroidered in the same way.
Step One: Hoop the fabric with water soluble mesh. Start the machine from the second color. It will embroider the outline of the design and stop.
Step Two: Take the hoop from the machine. With a pair of sharp scissors cut away the fabric inside the triangle in the areas shown on the picture.
Step Three: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.
Step Four: Wash away the stabilizer and neatly spread on a flat surface to air dry. Press.
The designs are good for cushions, bed linen and table linens.
Step One: Hoop 2 layers of water soluble mesh. Start the machine. It will embroider the triangle and stop.
Step Two: Place a piece of fabric over the mesh to cover the outline. You can pin the fabric to the mesh outside the embroidery area. Start the machine. It will embroider the outline of the design 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 - outside the triangle and inside, around the flower shape. Take care not to cut through the stabilizer and stitches.
Step Four: Return the hoop to the machine and finish embroidering.
Step Five: Wash away the stabilizer and neatly spread on a flat surface and leave to air dry. Press.
