Dantela Lace Blocks

Hoop size:  5" x 7" hoop

These lace designs in the Italian Dantela style can be used for many different purposes. As you can see, each block is a fully finished design that looks great on its own. You can simply embroider them on water-soluble fabric to create coasters, doilies, bookmarks, window ornaments, or sun catchers for decorative mobiles.

Each 'block' can also be sewn into fabric semi-automatically by your machine, making it easy to sew them into large quilt blocks, garments, and fashion accessories. The designs are digitized in a way that allows for in-hoop lace insertion. The designs come with step-by-step instructions showing how to do in-hoop lace insertion and how to machine embroider beautiful standalone laces.

TIP: For especially thin and soft laces, it's possible to use the 60wt color bobbins thread on both top and bottom. We've tried this technique and it works great. The laces come out beautiful and pleasant to touch.

Most important component needed to make lace designs is Water Soluble Backing. Don't forget to refill your stock.
