Free Standing Lace With Mylar Christmas Ornaments

12/2/2022

Free standing lace embroidery designs are fun to make especially when you add mylar.  Christmas is a perfect time to go over the top with sparkle. Mylar gift wrap is very inexpensive and comes in alot of colors so you can create an infinity of different looks. I am releasing a brand new set of FSL Mylar Christmas Embroidery designs.
Picture
The most important thing to remember about free standing lace is to use a matching bobbin.  You will see both sides of the finished project and since this is designed to hang on a Christmas tree or wreath, you want both sides to be pretty.

Another great tip is to use two pieces of wash away stabilizer. This gives extra structure while the design sews out. I like to use silver Mylar because it is a great neutral to let your thread colors really show.
Picture
A FSL embroidery design will have loose fills to capture and tack the Mylar. It should also stitch around the perimeter enough to perforate the Mylar so you can tear it away.

Once you have removed the Mylar, a satin outline will clean everything up.

A short dip into some warm water will melt the stabilizer away. Not too long though. If you leave a little of that stabilizer in the design, it will dry just a bit stiffer. Here are the six designs included in the FSL Mylar Christmas Ornament Set
Picture
A Christmas Bird With Heart Wing
Picture
A Sparkly Christmas Tree With Red Trim
Picture
A Christmas Present
Picture
A Christmas Ornament that can be changed to so many different colors.
Picture
A Christmas Star
Picture
A Christmas Poinsettia. Stitch this is White or Red
Picture
Each design has less than 7000 stitches and they sew up within 15 minutes. You can either embroider them individually in a 4x4 hoop or gang them up in a larger one to save stabilizer.  I have an instruction video below you can watch that will show how fun and easy these are created. I bet your kids or grandkids would love making these! How about slipping these ornaments into your Christmas Cards this year?  These would also be great stocking stuffers for teachers, your doctor, dentist, postal carrier or any other person you want to give a small item to. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create. Someone will appreciate your hard work.
