(Please see Picture 1 on page 4 for explanation of buttonette and eyelet.) Insert the tip of the tweezers, hemostats or crochet hook into the eyelet, grasp the buttonette and pull through the eyelet. A stiletto could be used to push the buttonette through the eyelet. The lace looks best when left fairly stiff. To achieve desired stiffness, when the design is finished stitching, wash the design lightly so that some of the water soluble stabilizer stays in the design. It is better to hold the lace gently and allow the water to flow through rather than working at it or scrubbing the lace. If item becomes too limp to work with, dissolve scrap pieces of water soluble stabilizer in warm water and apply to the item to re-stiffen. Alternatively you can iron the pieces on the wrong side while applying spray starch. After ironing spray again with starch and allow to dry completely. This will stiffen the lace pieces nicely and aid in construction. Note: The base of the building has holes meant to contain a battery operated tea light candle. Alternatively there is a hole left in the back of the building so that a standard wired Christmas light can be inserted.

GENERAL FREESTANDING LACE GUIDELINES SUPPLIES: Embroidery Thread: Use the same embroidery thread in the bobbin as the needle. Needles: Use an Organ 80/12 Titanium needle for extended needle life. Stablilizer: Mesh water-soluble stabilizer or film water-soluble stabilizer. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. Hoop two layers of Mesh or one layer of film watersoluble stabilizer. 2. Attach the hoop to the machine and select the design of your choice. 3. Stitch the design. 4. Remove the hoop from the machine and the design from the hoop. Trim excess stabilizer from the design. 5. Rinse away remaining stabilizer and allow it to dry. HANDY HINTS: For Stiffer Lace: DO NOT RINSE away all of the stabilizer for a stiffer lace. However, do note that the thread may appear a shade darker if stabilizer is not removed completely. If you happen to wash too much out, easily re-stiffen by diluting some stabilizer scraps in water and dipping the item in the solution. For Very Soft Lace: Cut away excess stabilizer. Remove remaining stabilizer by rinsing under warm running water until all traces of the stabilizer are gone. Note: If lace should become too limp to work with, dissolve stabilizer scraps in warm water and apply to the lace. Drying Lace: Lay lace piece with right side down to dry. This will minimize the tendancy for the lace to curl. NOTE: To stabilize your appliqué fabric and aid in stiffening the building we recommend that you back your appliqué fabric with either a fusible interfacing or a sticky backed cutaway stabilizer. Attach to the wrong side of your appliqué fabric and leave it in place as if the two layers were one while appliquéing. CUT IN PLACE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Hoop your fabric and backing. 2. Sew the pattern/placement. PHOTO 1 3. Place a piece of appliqué fabric over the pattern/placement so that it is completely covered. 4. Sew the trim stitch/tackdown. 5. Carefully cut away the excess appliqué fabric.photo 2 6. Sew the reminder of the design and repeat for any remaining pieces.
