Made some angels today on my embroidery machine. Never did freestanding lace before and of course I used the wrong kind of water soluble stabilizer. found that out after I had finished the last one of course. I started looking at all of them and noticed that the stitching on each of them was messed up in the same place. I had an angel that a friend had made on her machine and it looked great. So I looked up making freestanding lace on the Internet and it said use 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer that was like visquine, not 'solvey'--of course I used solvey. By the time I got to the 2nd wing the stabilizer was pretty unstable and I guess that is what caused the stitching the mess up at that point on each one. Will get the right kind of stabilizer before I make more. But aren't they cute!!
Happy quilting
