They sure can. Look down below for instructions:

Go to www.annaboveembroidery.com in the left hand menu click on Embroidery Projects, this will bring up a new page, click on NEW Freestanding Lace projects. This will bring up a project I did with FSL and cutwork on a tote bag. There are many pictures and written instructions for each step. This site also sells the best water soluble stabilizer I have ever used. Marji was right, use the fabric type WSS, not the plastic type. Bobbie

Designs that are digitized to be free standing lace can be embroidered like any other design on your embroidery machine. But instead of embroidering on fabric, like a blouse or shirt, you use water soluble stabilizer, the kind that is like fabric, not plastic wrap. You use your regular embroidery thread in the bobbin as well, then your lace will turn out the same on both sides. Perhaps others will come along who know where there might be tutorials on some websites. It's a fun thing to do, once you get the hang of it. Good luck, Marji

What kind of emb machine do you have
