Anita's Lace Tutorial: Lace Border

There are a few designs in the Anita's Lace Collection that will work for a lace quilt. The idea behind a lace quilt is fairly simple. Individual lace designs are embroidered and then sewn together to form a larger piece to become a quilt, placemat or table runner. You can alternate color schemes in the designs for a more interesting effect. In this tutorial we are going to use design HDLA18 which is a teardrop shape.

Step 1:

The first step is to embroider nine pieces of the design. For this example we used iron-away stabilizer.

Step 2:

Next we will begin to lay the pieces out and prepare them to be sewn together. This is the wrong way! In the teardrop shape move the pieces until they align without spaces.

Step 3:

The pieces should lay next to each other and the space should be visible between them.

Step 4:

Use a pin or tape to anchor the two pieces together.

Step 5:

When you sew the designs together be sure to choose suitable running stitch similar to the ones you see to the left. The best choice will be a stitch that has a needle drop in the middle, then a swing to the left and a swing to the right.
