Very pretty!
I took a class and made this also. Stitched it on linen. Took a long time.

Beautiful doily!

Looks great! Too many hours to doubt the fabric!

thank you

It is very pretty, I use linen or linen polyester stiffened with starch before I do my embroidery. I also check out the curtain department for materials I usually can get a heavy fabric which is ideal for embroidery.

Do you sew the pieces and then attach to the fabric or embroider right on the fabric?
It is beautiful.

then attached to the fabric .

Oh I think you did a lovely job. Will it not press out flat with steam iron and pressing cloth. I'm wondering if perhaps the fabric shrunk a little when you wet the WS stabilizer to dissolve it. I think I would have chosen a med weight tear away stabilizer /Lillian

I like your doily, the design is beautiful. I use cotton and water soluble stabiliser.
