Freestanding embroidery designs have been digitized
for heavy duty water-soluble stabilizer, and after the stabilizer is
removes, only beautiful lace remains. There are a few different kinds of
water-soluble stabilizer available, and two good choices are Vilene or
Solvy Ultra Solvy.
Using a 75/11 sharp sewing needle instead of a
standard embroidery needle can also be helpful, because it makes smaller
holes in the stabilizer and prevents the lace from being "cut out" as it
sews.
