Using Hoop it all for Free standing lace.
Hello, I just finished this cute little doily
I just wanted to try something a little different since FSL is not really my "Cup o' Tea"
Well, after seeing some projects, ... Why Not!
This is easy to stitch out, one color and only 4 pieces to make a 7" doily. Only 17 Minutes per side!
I was going to use my large hoop, but could only hoop for 2sides - (face it I'm lazy) at one time.
I tried the Hoop it All Hoop and it worked rather nicely
1. I cut a piece of solvy to to the length of the hoop
Sprayed only the ends of the hoop so that it would stick.
2. Cut a piece of For lack of Knowledge - its light weight veil lace the length of the hoop and used a little left over sticky to hold that in place.
3. Cut one more piece of solvy so the lace was sandwiched in the middle
Sprayed only the ends - then. Took some common scotch tape, folded one end for a tab and secured it to the hoop
This worked great - and put about 5 down each side and 2 pieces on either end.

This was not to hard and a lot easer than trying to re hoop the patterns - any 4x4 design could be done this way.
Thanks for stopping by my hoop it all project page!
