Instructions for creating Freestanding lace Easter window decoration In order to create the Easter bunny freestanding lace window decoration, featured on our site, you will need:
1. Our Freestanding lace Easter bunny window decoration : SKU 10573 Easter bunny window decoration
2. Water-soluble stabilizer suitable for freestanding lace (we prefer Vilene DO4) 3. Suitable machine embroidery thread:
We find that polyester thread for sewing machine is especially suitable for freestanding lace designs. In order to have the stitched out embroidery look the same on both sides, we would recommend that you use the same upper thread and bobbin thread in case you use normal thread.
4. Adhesive spray or suitable glue stick to be used for attaching pieces of water-soluble stabilizer. Whatever you use must be able to stick on the water-soluble stabilizer without damaging it and must also be water-soluble, so that the glue could be washed away at the end.
5. A suitable base for assembling the parts of the design. It should provide enough support for press-ing 2 pieces together after using the glue, but at the same time allow to easily stick a pin. A cork tile may be just what you need.
Warning: This freestanding lace ornament was designed using a different “assemble as you stitch” technique. Unlike other designs of this type you will NOT first stitch out the components and then put them together using manual or machine connecting stitches. The parts of the Easter bunny will be succes-sively assembled in the process of stitching out the freestanding lace.
While we find that this technique is generally easier and allows creating beautiful freestanding lace orna-ments with seamlessly connected elements, it also means that one MUST strictly follow the required steps and order of creating and connecting design parts. Sufficiently good stabilizing has always been very important when doing freestanding lace embroidery. In this case good stabilizing will be crucial to the success, because this technique provides a smaller margin for errors. If the parts do not align cor-rectly due to insufficiently good stabilizing, you will (most likely) not be able to correct this and will have to start over. Having in mind that you will have successively connected together several parts of the design, it will not be possible to redo just the piece that went wrong. If you make a mistake when doing the last piece of the design you will most probably have to start from the very beginning …
So, now that you’ve been warned, just take your time and make sure you get everything right! It is NOT so difficult. You CAN definitely do it!
Step-by-step instructions
1. Make sure you first have a look at the machine embroidery files. You have six of them and the file names contain *–P1, *-P2, etc. The numbers show the order for stitching out the design. You must start with P1 (= part #1) and work your way through to the last one – P6.
You may have already noticed that each of the design files includes a number of cross or X-shaped stitches. They are very important because they are the marks that will make it possible to precisely align the design parts. We have used blue and red thread for these stitches. This was done to make them more visible on the images when creating the current instructions. Of course, this makes them easier to use when aligning the design parts. It is up to you if you will use the red and blue thread. If you want, you may do them with the same thread you use for the whole ornament. This will save you some time as you’ll skip some thread changes.
On the next page we have provided an image showing all design parts. The numbers in red indicate the part number. E.g the red #1 indicates that this is design part #1. I.e., this is the one to start with. The black numbers alongside the cross of X marks show the number of the mark and indicate how to match the alignment marks – e.g. #1 goes to #1, #2 goes to #2, etc.
