Most of my embroidery lately has been with FSL, to which I LOVE
making.

In my OWN personal preferences I have discovered what seems to
work best for ME, this is by no means what others may like or dislike.

When I first started with FSL I had many issues, after talking to my
local dealer, they gave me some tips that I tried and this is how I
come to be on the right "path" for making my lace.

Most of the tips they gave me was when I was using metallic thread
but I have been using it for ALL of my lace and I like the results.

I start with a SHARP TOP STITCH needle
Use 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer (3 layers if the designs is really dense).
Slowest embroidery speed as I can get.


Lots of patience

I have over 100k designs and I KNOW that using them all will never
happen, but at least I have them if I need something (if only I could find
it when needed).
