24342All your doilies are so beautiful and the way you arrange the designs on them. Please tell me how you get the edges so smooth, what kind of stabilizer you use, tear- or washaway? Mine always seems to be wavy and does not come out as smooth as yours. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your projects.

Thank you for your comment, Lynette. I use washaway stabiliser and choose a dense outline digitised by a good digitizer like Martine. It helps if the outline is 5mm wide, as the one I have used for this doily. Also, I use rayon embroidery thread which is softer and shinier than polyester. Hugs, Lidia

Thank you, Shirley. Love the Nerines, they flower profusely when the plant is congested and a bit neglected... lol

The doily fits a 200x360 hoop, so if your hoop is large enough it can be done in one hooping.

360401Gorgeous job by you both. I love how you always have such lovely real flowers to go with your doilys.
86901Absolutely gorgeous - great teamwork from both of you. Love the wide satin boarder. That really makes a nice, and professional looking, finished edge.

Thank you, laffma. I agree with you, the wide satin outline makes a big difference.
