"Happy Birthday" Placemat with Lace Irises Corner:
This jolly placemat has been accomplished by Viveka Berg from Sweden. Viveka, thank you so much for the awesome project!
The lace corner design has been embroidered separately on water soluble backing. Then it was attached to a placemat, that was embroidered with "Happy Birthday" and sewn separately. The Lace corner was embroidered using design from Irises Lace set, and the lettering was done using "Rose Elegance" alphabet. Here's a photo:
Required supplies:
Iris Lace designs (available here...)
Rose Elegance alphabet (available here...)
Water soluble backing to embroider the lace - preferably fabric-type water soluble (available here...)
Strong poly embroidery thread. You may use regular poly thread, but if your machine takes L-size bobbins, we highly recommend you to get a special thread kit with prewound bobbins in matching colors. It will save you plenty of time. Lace designs are stitch-intensive and take a lot of bobbin thread.
Batting
Fabric (Viveka used cotton fabric)
Embroidery backing to embroider the lettering - for this project cotton iron-on tearaway is great.
