CHOOSING
NOTIONS FOR
YOUR DOILY
Since our doilies are shaped like pumpkins,
we naturally gravitated towards an autumn
color palette. We wanted to keep it simple
by using just one fabric for the appliqué
and one color thread so that the intricacy
of the lace digitizing would really stand out.
FABRICS
We chose a burnt orange linen to
resemble the natural color of pumpkins,
but also to give each doily a more
antique feel.
THREADS
Choosing a thread is easy! Just match your
thread to your fabric as close as you can,
and don’t forget to match your bobbin!
NOTIONS
A good, sharp pair of curved embroidery
scissors are of course necessary to trim
away as much excess fabric from the tack
down as possible to create a clean doily.
