Hi,
My name is Christele, I'm 42 and live in France, I enjoy to join your
group.
My hobby is machine embroidery and home decoration, especially french
style.
Recently, I proposed my embroideries on linen, on a website,
especially monograms of old style :

My machine is a Brother Innovis 1500. Does somebody have the same
machine ? I would like to learn to do lace, but I don't know which
support to choose.
thank you to receive me among you (and excuse for bad english !)
Sincerely,
Christ=E8le

Christele, Bienvenue! Your English is great, and so is your web
site. I wish my French was as good as your English!! I believe
you're asking which stabilizer to use for embroidering lace? If you
mean free-standing lace, I have not tried that personally but I
attended a class where the technique was discussed. They said to use
water-soluble stabilizer like Aquamesh or Sulky Solvy, more than one
layer if necessary, and then after embroidering to soak in water and
the stabilizer would dissolve and you would be left with the lace
design consisting only of thread. They also stressed that not every
lace design will work, it needs to be digitized in a special way and
say "free-standing lace design" otherwise when the stabilizer
dissolves you will be left with a tangled mess of thread instead of
lace! So if you plan to digitize your own lace designs, I would
recommend purchasing a stock freestanding lace design to analyze in
your digitizing software and figure out what needs to be done to hold
the design together once the stabilizer is gone. One woman in the
class I took brought in some lace Christmas tree ornaments that she
embroidered this way and they looked great. Anita Goodesign makes
some beautiful and well-digitized freestanding lace designs and they
come with excellent instructions that recommend ABC's Aquafilm
Badgemaster or Floriani's Wet'N'Gone. I found instructions for
embroidering lace to edge a tablecloth on in the Project Gallery on
Embroidery.com:
www.embroidery.com/CPGView.asp?sid=3D=
&DocumentID=3D1888&EFID=3D954&shopstop=3D1
I can't seem to make that link, so cut and paste it into your browser
or just go to embroidery.com and search for "anita goodesign lace" and
you'll see the project in your search results. Good luck (Bonne
chance!) with your lace project and with your embroidery business, and
let us know how it turns out!

Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for all your advices, excuse me to reply so late, I couldn't
read this group before. I did as you tell me : using a water-soluble
stabilizer and above all, using a lace design especially made for
LACE. You're right, it's very important, I made a trial with an other
design, which seems to be lace but not, and it's awful ! everything
broken and all my embroidery went to dush bin.
But water-soluble is expensive. I read somewhere it 's possible to
sew or stick pieces of water-soluble. Does somebody know what I mean ?
Also, I would like to know your easy ways to embroider on tee-shirt or
jersey? that seems difficult to me.
Thank you for help,
Hoping to read you soon

Here in the U.S., our hospitals use water-soluble material for laundry
bags. At least one person buys these wholesale and sells small
quantities, which is much less expensive than buying the water-soluble
stabilizer. If you know of anyone connected with a hospital or nursing
home, you could ask if it's possible to buy a few of the bags.
You can take your left-over bits that you have and carefully dampen the
edges and piece them together. Not too much water or they will
disappear! I would use waxed paper to lay them out on because it will
peel off when it has dried.

Ok, I *love* that hint! I have been saving all my left-over bits
of water soluble stabilizer, even though I had no idea what I
would do with the. The instructions that came with the
stabilizer (Solvy and Ultra Solvy) indicated one could dissolve
bits, and brush the resulting (now liquid) product onto a
project, but I didn't particularly like that idea.
Thanks, Joanne!
