Description:

I thought it would be fun if we did a kinda simple swap for our first one. Since Christmas is coming up, wouldn't we love to get a new ornament for our trees? This swap is for 1 FSL (free standing lace) ornament for 1 partner. If you've never done lace with your embroidery machine before, don't panic - it's easy!

All you need is a FSL design and some water-soluble stabilizer, like solvy or vilene. They have solvy at Joann's, but you can probably get vilene or something like it at your dealer's.

There are easy instructions here as well as some free designs:

designs and instructions

Free angel bookmark (could be ornament)

Angel of light

Free candy cane

If you know of any more sites with free designs, feel free to post them!

The usual rules apply - no flakers, no drama, yadda yadda :) PM me with any questions! Have fun!

This should be a fun swap! Can I make a lace ornament cover??? Ornament included of course!

Lace ornament covers count! They are very beautiful :)

I'm a little scared of this, but signed up :) I have never done lace before, but from the description it doesn't sound too hard!

FSL (free standing lace) is addicting! When I don't have anything to work on I'll set the machine up & let it go.

I have ruined like a million of these. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am really hoping to figure it out by Monday so I can send out on time! I am using a strong water soluble stabilizer, but it keeps tearing or going limp. Any ideas???

I just read somewhere that solvy isn't the best for this. So.... I guess I need to go shopping tomorrow :)
