STEP 3
• Take the two halves face up and sew a
zig zag stitch along the cover stitches.
Afterwards, wash the tape away and let dry
before assembly.

Embroidery Tape WashAway to aid in the
stitching of the two brim halves together.
With the back side facing up, simply place
the tape over the two halves closing the gap
between the two pieces.

• Create the top by folding the piece into a cone and button the four buttonettes to their
corresponding eyelets.

their corresponding eyelets. Then simply pull the buttonettes through the brim to complete
the assembly.

INSTRUCTIONS
Supplies:
Embroidery Thread:
• Use the same embroidery thread in the bobbin as the needle.
Needles:
• Use an Organ 80/12 Titanium needle for extended needle life.
Stabilizer:
• Use OESD AquaMesh stabilizer.
Handy Hints:
For Stiffer Lace:
• DO NOT rinse away all of the stabilizer for a “stiffer” lace.
Note that the thread may appear a shade darker if stabilizer is
not removed completely.
• If you happen to wash too much out, easily re-stiffen by
diluting some stabilizer scraps in water and dipping the item
in the solution.
For Very Soft Lace:
• Cut away excess stabilizer. Remove remaining stabilizer by
rinsing under warm running water until all traces of the
stabilizer are gone. NOTE:If lace should become too limp to
work with, dissolve stabilizer scraps in warm water and apply
to the lace.
Drying Lace:
• The lace looks best when left to dry completely. Lay lace
piece with right side down to dry. This will minimize the
tendency for the lace to curl. Be sure to atten the piece out
entirely and allow ample time to dry.

General Instructions
1. Hoop two layers of OESD AquaMesh Stabilizer.
2. Attach the hoop to the machine and select the design of your
choice.
3. Stitch the design.
4. Remove the hoop from the machine and the design from the
hoop. Trim excess stabilizer from the design.
5. Rinse away remaining stabilizer and allow it to dry.
Handy Hints:
For 3D Lace Projects:
• If item becomes too limp to work with, iron the lace pieces
on the wrong side while applying spray starch. After ironing,
spray again with starch and allow to dry completely. This will
stiffen the lace pieces nicely and aid in construction.
• A pair of tweezers, hemostats, stiletto or a tiny crochet hook
can be extremely helpful when inserting the buttonettes
into the eyelets. (Please see Diagram 1 for explanation of
“buttonette” and “eyelet”.)
• Insert the tip of the alligator clamps, tweezers, hemostats or
crochet hook into the eyelet, grasp the buttonette and pull
through the eyelet. Or a stiletto could be used to push the
buttonette through the eyelet.
