I have been enjoying making free standing lace – my machine is coping really well with it. I am going to try earrings next.
I am using the brothread water soluble stabiliser and it’s good (I am using two layers)

Lace Stars
These stars appealed to me – decorations, present toppers, etc.
I found two layers of water soluble stabiliser worked best (hooped perpendicular to each other).
I used the same thread as both my top thread and my bobbin thread.
I have slowed my machine down to 500 spm. I am not sure if that is necessary, but everything just seems to work a lot better. At this speed it does take 70 minutes, but there are no colour changes.
