FREE STANDING LACE F-L
Free standing lace embroidery designs are any
embroidered elements stitched directly onto a water-soluble
stabilizer, and once rinsed in hot water, leaves you with
a freestanding piece! It is important to note that designs
must be labeled as ‘Free Standing Lace’ in order for this
technique to work, as they have been specially digitized.
If your design is not specially digitized to work as free
standing lace, your threads will unravel once rinsed from
the stabilizer. Free standing lace designs have an adjusted
density inside, helping the stitches secure to their bobbin
thread and removing the need for a base material! These
types of designs can be used in a variety of ways, and can
even be stitched onto fabric as standard embroidery! Hand
sew some lace shapes together to create a beautiful runner,
frame them for unique home decor, tie them onto presents,
or even create a beautiful lace mosaic on your wall—the
possibilities are endless!
