FSL - Sue box design. Done in 2 parts. Stitching time more than 4 hours and more than 120 000 stitches. Despite the time it really is a great design to stitch out and I will definitely do it again.

Very pretty, well done. Sue box is worth the money , I have bought cheep designs that the lace does not mesh so it ends up in the bin. three cheers Heather

Such a lovely doily you've made& quite a lot of stitches too. Sue box designs are quite delicate. About how long would you say it took from starting your machine till all done? Thanks for sharing this project. :~D

wow it looks lovely as all her work is...good on you, they now say not to wash the stuff away until after you stitch them together, did you do that. I have some fsl done which has to be sewing together, nervous about stitching it together.

I have found if you cut one side close to your work, and the other with a 1 eight edge or slightly more, of wash away Vilene left. Then but the edges together the larger edge on the bottom. Using a triple stich [ it is one of your zig-zag stiches] making sure your design matches up, it will come out perfect. I then wash it out with hot water and lay the lace on a towel the same colour, I have always had a good result
