Placemat and Doily with FSL Applique Daisy Border

These handsome placemat and doily are sewn with the FSL Applique Lace Daisy Border. For the placemat, we used 2 stitch-outs for the mega hoop, and for the doily we used 4 stitch-outs for the large (5" x 7") hoops.

You will need a piece of fabric about 14" x 21".
Prepare 2 stitch-outs of the FSL Applique Lace Daisy Border.

Finish the long raw edges of the fabric. For this, fold the raw edges 1/4" back and press. Fold again 1/4" and press. Topstitch in place.

Position the applique stitch-outs on the short raw edges. Baste or pin in place.

Stitch the pattern to the fabric. Use short, but not very dense zig-zag. Both in the needle and in the bobbin, use thread of the same color as the embroidery.

Cut away the excess fabric close to the stitches.

Stitch again, using very dense zig-zag. Both in the needle and in the bobbin, use thread of the same color as the embroidery.

The placemat is done! The finished size is 14" x 20".

Doily

The finished size of the doily is about 15" x 15". You will need a piece of fabric measuring about 15" x 15" and 4 stitch-outs of the FSL Applique Lace Daisy Border for the large hoop.

Attach the embroidered patterns to the fabric as described above. Be sure to use the same thread both in the needle and in the bobbin. That's all it takes!

Happy Stitching!
