Step 3 - making the felt embroidery pieces
Using the curved scissors, cut the designs out as close to the embroidery as possible.
Step 4 - making the freestanding lace pieces
Watch the video and then stitch the designs out on to the water-soluble stabiliser.
Note: make sure to use the same colour thread on your bobbin thread as is will show on the freestanding lace.
Step 5 - making the freestanding lace pieces
Rinse the embroidery in water until all the water-soluble stabiliser has dissolved and allow the piece to dry.
Step 6 - making the embroidered Christmas wreath
Assemble the pieces together on the hand embroidery hoop. You can really get creative with your design here.
To add wording, embroider Christmas phrases onto ribbon using your Brother embroidery machine. You will need to ‘float’ the ribbon on your embroidery stabiliser.
