Thank you, Joyce. I have uploaded the picture of my software layout because Chris wanted to know how and what I have done it, and I'm happy that it has encouraged other Cuties to try as well.
Hugs, Lidia

2375This overlap would kill my machine but I was wondering....do you ever mess up? These look perfect and you do so well putting them together!

Hi Toogie,
You can stitch this doily out in pieces and hand-stitch or machine-stitch them together, as shown in photo #3, without any problems.
.
I have been able to stitch this FSL doily out in one hooping because I have a large hoop and software that puts designs how I want, to fit my hoop, exactly, so there is no mess when my machine stitches the doily out.
Yes, I do mess up sometimes and it happens when I want to create a doily with a design that hasn't been designed to be stitched out as an applique and it happened recently. Examining the stitch-out, I understood what the problem was, stitched the same doily out again, and I'm very happy with the end result.
Hugs, Lidia

117This is beautiful and you are very creative...thanks for sharing
28Lidia, this is really creative.. and very pretty...you have inspired me a lot. I have stitched 5 of the heart design but I dont know how to put them together. The centre looks very empty when put together. I am
thinking of sewing by hand to attach all the five pieces, will that be ok...?
Thanks for showing your doilies.. Hugs... Shyam.

Thank you, Shyam.
I haven't stitched the five heart designs individually, my software has created the doily with the five heart designs and I have stitched it in one hooping. I think that you can stitch them together and to help you and some other Cuties, I'll upload a picture of the layout made by my software in my heart doily post. Hugs, Lidia

The overlap doesn't make any difference when placing a vase on top, Christine. Thanks for your comment.

173580This is beautiful, Lidia! Also a "huge THANK YOU!!!!!!" For posting the great picture of the layout in your software program. It hope you know how helpful that photo is to me/us who want to create some of these great doilies you are making!. Wish there was a pic like this on the first doily you did as I can not seem to get imy layout correct for that one.
I really appreciate your taking the time to share your lovely creations with us and inspiring us!

Thank you, Sharon. I have posted the layout because Chris (pennifold) asked how I have done it. Nobody else has asked me that before. Please tell me which doily are you referring to and I will do the same.
Hugs, Lidia

I am speaking about the first one you made from the free heart design. I think I can figure out the other one you made - I just saw it after I posted on this lovely project. This is so kind of you to offer to do this and I am sure it will help others also! thank you very much!
7384Fantastic! You encourage us to look at designs in new ways.

Thank you, Laffma. Many FSL designs in this collection (3D Lace Swan & Specialty Lace) are useable to create beautiful doilies as well, I have tried a few layouts and am thrilled to have those designs,
Hugs, Lidia
31625Very nice and so beautiful love the way you doing this stunning
704341781It looks wonderful Lidia. How and what did you do for the centre? Do you digitise? Love Chris
by lidiad
17 Apr 2015
Thank you, Chris. I didn't digitise anything, if you look at the bottom end of the design of photo #2, you see the part that has created the centre. I'm going to upload a third photo that shows the five pieces in different colours, showing how my software has done it.
Hugs, Lidia
