Thank you for purchasing this set of lace bookmarks from http://www.stitchdelight.com
Please direct all questions/comments to lubbedd@xsinet.co.za.  Please note that not all designs 
in this set are free standing lace ;0)

For the free standing lace designs I have used 2 layers of water soluble vilene
40wt Marathon thread in both the top and bobbin area and a 75/14" needle.  Simply stitch the 
design onto the vilene, remove from the hoop, cut away the big pieces of vilene, it's not necessary to
cut close to the edge as it will dissolve in warm water.  Place your design into warm water to
dissolve all the vilene.  For a softer result use some fabric softner in the water.  Iron with a warm
iron untill dry ;0)  Add your ribbon and you have the perfect gift or item to sell ;0)

I would like to share a excellent tip with you.  I have used my soldering iron to burn the vilene between the holes
and small areas directly after stitching the design (before soaking) and to cut the design out, this seals the thread
and gets rid of any loose threads that there might be and give a super neat effect.

I have added a applique free standing lace design.  The pink little mirror with my little boys photo in http://www.stitchdelight.com
You will notice that the machine makes a oval run, that is your position to place your photo or applique fabric.
Secure it with magic/sticky tape.  Stitch step two, which is a loose zig-zac stitch which secures the design to the 
water soluble vilene.  Now remove the frame from the machine, BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE VILENE FROM THE HOOP.  Cut around as close to the
zig-zac stitching as possible carefull not to cut the thread.  Now finish your design.  Soak in warm water, carefull not to wet the photo
if you used one, leave to dry and iron with a warm iron.  This is a super bookmark gift for anyone ;0)

Enjoy it and feel free to email me photos of your finished product to just4fun@xsinet.co.za
