Corner of the 36" square cloth. I sewed the lace on and then embroidered the designs before I cut the fabric away.

96283Roslyn - can you please let me know what type of fabric you use to do your lovely work? I can not tell if it is linen, or something else. This is so much like the heirloom stitching that our grandmothers did. I want to try some, but no certain what fabric is better to work with. If you could, I would appreciate an answer. Hugs

This fabric is "LINEN" I save all the off cuts ( small tiny pieces of 541-vylene washaway , solvey also can be used ) and dissolve them. Add the material and let dry. Iron well when dry (makes it lovely and stiff without using spray starch -cheaper too) I have used "sun-air-linen" Polly Linen And also some with a fair bit of Polly in it as well. By using the dissolved Wash-a-way I find that it's not slippery when I try to hoop it. Though I must say this cloth and the "Sweetpea Runner" ,I didn't hoop at all. I used basting stitches to hold it to the hooped tear-a-way. Because the lace was sewn on before I did the embroidery and that the hoop would either stretch the lace or damage it. Hope this helps. regards Rossie

Bite the bullet and have a go. You won't be sorry. I measure and measure to make sure it's all even and I use Templates printed from the computer onto paper to make sure the designs are right too
