I promised before Christmas I would post a pix of my FSL bowl that I made, but just found out how to resize my pix and going to try it again. How you like what I did...it was to have stars on all panels but since this was for my son I made it with only 3 sides embroidered and bottom and let bobbin thread be same as bowl. It looked less feminine. He loved it. This was a free one from Kenny's Kreations.

8181Diane, it is beautiful, but you do realise, I am sure, you will get the FSL bug as many of us have after the first one. Helen

Yes, I found out at Christmas and still do it now, between other designs, but I have done crochet lace since I was 12 I think, so this is a big improvement and so much easier on the hands and fingers.

119791I really like that. Very pretty! My machine gets made a the outside edging on regular designs so FSL scares the heck out of me.

If you will use the fibrous wss and stitch it, you shouldn't have any major problems. I had a little trouble with the thin even with 3 layers so went with the fibrous and it works like a charm. It has a lot also to do with the way it is designed and digitized, this one was easy.
22354Diane, what a great job - it was very clever of you to not put the stars on all sides to change the look of this for your son. SUPER WORK!

Thanks, he used it for a New Year's Party and even the guys liked it. He asked me at Thanksgiving if I had seen them, yes, have you done one, NO, I'd like one of those. One of his friends greatgrannie had made him one that was hand crocheted. I think he liked his better.
2110799757It looks great. Wonderful job for your first try. Glad you learned how to share your projects with us as well.

7969This is pretty. Glad he likes it. If he didn't I would take it. "smile" Do you sew the panels all on the embroidery machine. I have the designs just never attempted to do one. Great Job on it. I love stars and collect them.

I just used a regular zig-zag stitch as it can't be too close. Wow, wish it was still free so you could make one..

I have collected bells and bowls(from cutie) I just need to do it. "smile"
I just didn't know if you sewed them together by hand or by a regular sewing machine. So many other projects are ITH.

I used the regular sewing machine to sew together. It was not as hard as I had heard it to be. I used the fibrous wss and only one layer. I have made many FSL things since this....try it...I will help you any way I can.
