Have just finished this doily, which is from the Sue Box Collection,(FSL 015 Square Doily Quarter). I am thinking of adding some beads and making a milk jug cover, but wondering if it is too stiff/dense for a milk jug cover.

Thank You. If the milk jug cover doesn't work then it will just have to be a doily.

This is sew beautiful. Would be lovely as a milk jug cover - hope it works when you add the beads. (please post a photo). Lovely work.

I might soak it again before I add the beads just to check if this is why it is so stiff.

I think it would look stunning as a milk cover, with beads.
Try soaking it over night, that should make it nice and soft. Hugs Yvonne

I will soak it again. I am too impatient, but will wait this time.

Lyn, this is lovely - I have stitched this design several times - I think I would soak it in very 'hot' water and rinse it several times. If it gets soft enough - I know it would be lovely with the beads and be wonderful for a milk jug cover. A+

It's excellently stitched. If you want it soft you could put a little bit of fabric softener or vinegar in the hot water rinse. The beads should give it enough weight to hold it in place.

It is beautiful! It is hard for me to believe you can do it on an embroidery machine. What size is it?

It is actually in 4 sections.It is 19mm or 7 and a half inches in diameter.

This is beautiful Lyn, what thread weight did you use? I agree with everyone else, if you just keep washing it - it will soften. Love and blessings Chris

Chris, Might sound silly, but I don't know. I used polyester thread from Creek Creations here in Aust. It is #307 and is called Linen. Hope that helps.
by mranderson 08 Nov 2011
Lyn, that is one of the Brother colours. I think it would be 50wt. Marg

You have done a great job! I have stitched it four times (4 gifts) each in one hooping. To have it soft, I have rinsed first in warm water and then kept in a large bowl of water for about two-three days, renewing the warm water often. The result is a very lovely, shiny and soft (but heavy) doily! I had used Robison-Anton rayon thread.

I would loved to do it in just one hoop, but I have a 5 X 7 hoop that I use so have to do it in the 4 quarters. I have it soaking again at the moment. I think it is really a beautiful deaign.

Very pretty...how would you add the beads? I thought when it is done with crochet the beads are added as you go, guess they could be just hand stitched on this one.

I will have to stitch them by hand.

Gorgeous! I love Sue Box FSL designs. I have had to soak in warm water for several hours to get the soft feel. It is worth the time it takes. The end result is outstanding. You did a great job
Well done
