Making FSL is a blast. You stitch your design on a doubled piece of water solubable stabilizer. Stitch rinse don't ring it out but let it dry flat.

camylow, each sort of FSL has a way to be assembled - depending on what it is - what project did you get? For bowls - you stitch the sides and them the bottom to the sides with a zig zag or satin stitch - boxes about the same but a bit harder to get under the foot, doilys one side to the next until you are finished, a house would be more difficult and might need some glue, a hot air balloon some stitching and some glueing - so you help us - by telling us - what you are trying to connect - that way we can assist you more. Hehehe!

I purchased the oesd christmas collection series. I am trying to do the candle holder design which is like a doily at bottom (5sections) the pieces which come up and fall over is alot. Each section took about 43 minutes to do. I didn't even have a clue if I was suppose to hand sew or machine sew. Need a side by side tudor, because I am more of a hands on learner. Never could read directions. I think that is more to lack of patience. God is still working on that with me....
