This pillowcase is so beautiful!! I am a new embroidery machine owner and I can’t begin to imagine how you made this. Simply elegant. What a great gift these would make!! How difficult was it?

I love this beautiful pattern. Where can I obtain the directions?

There are directions with these designs explaining which skirts are stand alone and which stabaliser to use.
There is no pattern for the pillow case. Just use the measurements from one that fits your favoured pillow.
I cut the pillow slip out and hemed the edge that the embroidery was to be placed. Using templates I marked the placements for the designs.
I stitched the skirt and the border lace onto water soluble vilene (double layer) and then just cut the stabiliser close to the designs. I machine stitched the lace skirt in place and the border lace along the stitched hem line.
I rechecked the placemnent for lady, stabilised and embroidered her in place. Recheck the placment of the remaining designs before embroidering them.
Complete the making of the pillow case and soak to disolve the water soluble stabiliser.
I have found that this method works for me as the embroidered lace is easier to handle and keep in place with the stabaliser still attached.
I hope these directions help.

Hi Jean and all,
Thanks so much for all the nice comments on this design…I love seeing what everyone does with the designs I do…so many beautiful pictures to see.
I use purchased pillowcases when I do these and here is what I do.
1. Stitch out free standing lace parts and lay aside.
2. Remove hem from pillowcase…just take the stitching out
3. Use templates printed from needed design pieces to mark placements for stitching embroideyr. I use the fold line from the old hem to judge my placements.
4. When finished with embroidery place lace pieces in place and using your regular machine satin stitch in place.
5. Cut fabric from behind lace parts close to the satin stitching and enjoy your finished pillowcase.
The designs do come with full instructions and my cell phone number if you need added support.

These are absouletly beautiful, you oviously are very talented, I too would love instructions, but I suppose they are a gaurded secret, which I understand. I applaud your talent. Did you actually make the pillow slips too or were they purchased ones?

You have inspired me to get this made now. I have had this design for so long but never had the time to make it. Am going to make it for a wedding present. The instructions that come with it are easy to follow.
