Hoop 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer. Stitch the first color. Materials

Water Soluble Stabi- lizer

Polycotton Fabric

Wing Needle

Magic Tape

Ribbon

Cut a piece of polycotton fabric 6 inch by the length required. Place the fabric on the stitched area and tape into place. Stitch the next color. Trim the fabric. Stitch the rest of the design except for the last color

Change needles and put the wing needle into the machine. Stitch the last color.

Using the wing needle with the unique stitches which I have created to be used in these designs, holes are created making the broderie anglaise lace.

To make a continuous piece, use the placement method. Marking stitching has been put into each design to make placement easy. Place the end of the first stitched piece to the beginning of the piece that has been stitched on the water soluble stabilizer. Stitch the next piece out the same way as the first piece was stitched.

To complete the lace, cut open the button holes and thread ribbon through. For the designs that have one edging, the top running stitches are part of the seam when inserted into your project. It is only there for placement.
