Fold the linen on the diagonal and finger press to find the center of the corner of the pulled thread squares.
|
3.
|
Measure 3 ½ -
|
4.
|
Place the template onto the corner of the linen piece, matching up the center of the template with the dot your marked earlier. Push down the edges so the tape sticks the template down onto the linen.
|
5.
|
Hoop the stabilizer alone.
|
6.
|
Lightly spray the fabric on the underside with the temporary spray adhesive making sure to completely cover the stitching area using the ttemplate as a guide. Do not over spray.
|

Lay the linen onto the hoop keeping it centered. Press it down onto the stabilizer.

|
Lay the linen on a work surface with the right side facing up.
|
17.
|
Lay the lace pieces with header next to the edge of the linen with the right sides down leaving 1/8 inch between the header of the lace and the edge of the fabric. The “tails” of the lace should overlap by 1 inch on each side. (See photo)
|
18.
|
Set your sewing machine to a tight zigzag (L=1.5,W=4.0) and install the 75/11 universal needle.
|
19.
|
Start about 1/8 in away from the corner and stitch the zigzag. The stitch should go completely over the edge of the fabric and swings back over the header of the lace. This will cause the fabric to roll over the lace edge and make a beautiful finish. (see photo 4)

When you get to the corner, stop about 1/8 inch before the corner.
