I have this machine and I specialize in free standing lace. You don't need 3 layers, 2 suffices for this design if hooped properly. You can also skip over whole pieces that you don't want to stitch out. There is a technique involved that either wasn't used or shown. When it's not used the pieces will not last, when it is they will last for ages. Great job for first time!
I have been embroidering Christmas free Standing lace this year and found I like Mesh wash away Stabilizes for designs. It is more secure, but washes out easy.

What size needle did you use? Mine seems to be tearing the WSS.
I use Organ brand needles 15X1ST size 80/12 sharp/ballpoint for the Brother PE550d embroidery machine.
