First up was a 3-dimensional free standing lace and organza angel. This design is from emblibrary. I used Madiera Viscose (rayon) thread in the top and bobbin for a high sheen.
The design is done as several free standing lace designs. A layer of organza is added to the front and the back of the wash-away stabilizer during embroidery.
The organza is cut to size using a template ahead of time, and may not always cover all of a FSL piece. I had a bit of an issue with the organza not always catching under the tack-down stitches. This resulted in it being pulled away from the edges after washing away the stabilizer.

Organza pulled away from edges. |
These designs were stitch intensive and I was happy to see the smiley face when done. 🙂
Happy Stitching!
I have made this Sylvia and the angel is beautiful but I have a problem with the wings not holding up and keep flopping down. Did this happen for you? I would love to make another but don't want the same thing to happen again. Thanks
