OMG! What is elastic lace? You sew it on the "bottom" on the onesie in rows! Too cute! Bottom of page, she tells how she hoops them. Look for Embellishing Onesies.

They are cute. I don't know where you buy elastic lace.

Thank you everyone for your help. It worked perfectly. It would be easier on a larger size.

Yeah--but they don't come any cuter than sz 0-3 mos! Too bad they don't stay that size longer than 2 weeks :)

And remember to iron on the soft backing when you're done so baby skin doesn't get irritated by stitching on underside. And be sure to mark your centerline so design is straight. It's so tiny that sometimes your center gets "lost".

Keep in mind you can only embroider a small design.

First I spray my stabilizer and place on the inside of the front of the shirt. Next I hoop the front not streching the fabric. Tighten the hoop and then I roll the back of the onesie until it is at the edge of the hoop. Then I use hair clips like banana clip but straight and I clip the back fabric so it won't get under the hoop. Good luck hope this helps.

This is a challenge but can be done. I put stabilizer in the hoop cut away. Then I sprayed the stabilizer and opened up the onesie laying the front down on the stabilizer and pushing the rest of the onsie on the sides. I then used wash away stabilizer and basted that in place and then stitched ou the design So when you put the onesie down it will look like you have a wall around the area to be stitched. After you do the first one it will get easier. This is what I do. I am not sure what anyone else does.
