FSL notes

  • Use 1 or 2 layers of wash away stabiliser.
  • To avoid misalignment issues & puckering, use 2 sided tape on the inner hoop. See hooping hints.
  • Use the same colour as the outline edge as your bobbin thread
  • Embroider your design.
  • Remove from the hoop & trim away excess stabiliser & loose threads.
  • Rinse away excess stabiliser.
  • Soak lace in hand hot water for 5-20 minutes, the longer it soaks the more stabiliser residue is removed & the softer it gets.
  • Squeeze excess stabiliser out until it no linger feels sticky.
  • Drip dry, or towel dry flat, re-soak if required to soften further.
