Cutwork Instructions-Designs4Africa

Posted by Carol on June 28th, 2004 — Posted in All Projects

Instructions:

1. Hoop 1 layer of dissolvable Vilene. (I hoop it with a frame of felt to keep the Vilene taut in the hoop.)

2. Spray the Vilene with a thin layer of Adhesive Spray like 505.

3. Place your fabric on the Vilene. Use a fine woven fabric like silk dupione, linen or cotton. The important thing to remember is that the fabric must be fine woven. I also spray the fabric with spray starch and iron it after every layer of spray starch.

4. Attach the hoop to the machine.

5. Stitch the first color 1302. I like to use rayon embroidery thread for my cutwork embroidery.

6. Remove the hoop from the machine.

7. Now you have to cut the fabric on the inside of the running stitches.
