Nashville Lace Denim

Re-Embroidered Lace by Hope Yoder If you have always wanted to embroider on denim but have never got around to it - the new Nashville Lace Embroidery Collection is the perfect type of design to embroider on denim because they are applique designs that are not too dense. Get dramatic results when you use rayon thread to match your lace and metallic silver or gold thread to give a subtle accent to the lace. These designs were created using English Cotton Netting as the base fabric (as shown on the stitch-outs). See what you can do for the Tween in your life (or for yourself). To achieve this hip look, substitute inexpensive lace that you can find in 45" wide in any fabric store. It is an all-over lace that comes in many different colors. Ivory lace & gold metallic threads have been used on the Capri jeans. Pink scalloped lace with silver metallic thread was used on the Jean Jacket. This was a 3" wide trim lace purchased at a sewing market years ago. Experiment with your scraps of lace or fabric to get different looks.

Here are a few tips that might help you: Use a thread net and omit the spool cap (less stuff to get tangled on) Use a 90 Metallic needle or a 90-100 Topstitch needle Slow the speed of the machine to less than half speed Hope's personal preference is RA Metallic J thread which likes to be put horizontal on the spool cap
