In this video I cover some basics like how to prepare you hoop and stabilizer for free standing lace (FSL) designs, what thread to use and how to ensure you don't get any thread nests in your fsl projects.
The machine used in this tutorial is the Baby Lock Spirit. It is a stand-alone embroidery machine.

This video popped up among videos suggested to me when I searched for doing Free standing lace. I have seen lots of your tutorials on various subjects, this but never knew you taught this too. This is really good!
Just like to comment that I have been watching quite a few machine embroidery videos (being a beginner) you speak so clear in your tutorials and your instructions are so easy to understand, your tutorials are so informative to the beginner. I think your great.
MrsKazza55 I agree with you. she's great at explaining everything
Thanks so much!
MrsKazza55 I agree. I have watched several and this is one of the best. No ramblings of stuff I don't need to know. Direct. To the point. Not sure if you have a video on how to get designs but I need that knowledge. I love this technology but hate using my computer. I have a cricut and my daughter, who lives 16 hours away, does my cricut designs because I hate the computer portion.
I am a beginner at the age of 55. I love your videos. You do not add info that isn't needed. I feel confident enough to try and create the lace now. Thank you
Clear, thorough, and superb video! Thank you!
You are an excellent teacher! Very thorough! Thanks for your mentorship:)
So glad I found your channel. You explain everything so plainly. Thank you for sharing!
Love this you explain very clearly I will be watching you more
ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS CREATION
A wonderful project which is well explained..thank you
Thank you! Your instructions are easy to follow! I just got my Luminaire and am excited to make some lace ornaments!
You do an awesome job explaining and telling how to do this. Very good job. Thanks.
As a Male that is looking into sewing and embroidery, I like the way you break things down and that helps me because I play the whole video to make sure I don't miss a step or the tips and tricks. Thank You.
Glad to help!
Thank you .You are a great teacher.
You are a wonderful instructor. I’m a beginner machine embroider and your detailed instructions are awesome. Thank you!
Great! Love your precise directions and especially all the tools, fabrics, stabilizers and where to get the items.
I really appreciate how clear and easy to understand your videos are! You cover all the main points and keep it moving along perfectly! This is the first one I've watched and will definitely watch more of yours!
Thank you so much, you are a great teacher and I have not used my embroidery machine but I am going to use it with this project. Thanks again!!
Another great tutorial, thank you Vanessa.
Thank you for sharing Becky that was a fascinating video x
Vanessa's tutorials are absolutely amazing. Very in depth and very easy to understand. I personally have learned so much from her. Crafty Gemini tutorials are my go to when I want to learn something new.
Thank you for another Great video! You do a fantastic job and I have enjoyed all of your videos and anticipate each new video 😉
Thank you. just got an embroidery machine and this was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm so thrilled you now have your own stabilizers to help aid me in this machine embroidery adventure. For some reason, I have difficulty in remembering what stabilizer works with what. As usual, you are the best! Thanks so much!
Such clarity of instructions and materials used is greatly appreciated. Looking for ward to seeing some more and getting my own machine in the new year.
You are an amazing teacher! Sew gifted! Thank you for your clear, concise tutorials, Vanessa. I really appreciate you making these videos. 🥰
I love the way you teach. I learned a lot from this video, so thank you!!!
Love your channel and the videos for the new embroiderer being a very new learner myself. Make things easier to understand. I myself have a Innovis 750E and a little bit wary of it!
Daaaang that's a nice machine! I love how you explain everything, even if it seems like a small detail. So that we all know exactly what we're doing and why. Excellent! Also, no triggers for my epilepsy like flashing lights. I usually have to have captions or read lips but, I can understand what you're saying perfectly. I appreciate all of these aspects!
Well done! Thank you for your great lesson and well-explained info.
You're welcome!
What an excellent video! You are so clear and concise… Learned more from this video and the lessons that came with my machine. Well done!
Found your video today...thank you, you explained things to me very clearly. 😊
I received a Brother SE 400 for my birthday. I really appreciate your videos! I had no idea where to start and this videos are very clear and give me simple things to try.
Gracias!!! My FSL project turned out so pretty.
Always enjoy your tutorials
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE AWESOME...Great teacher
Newbie here, now I think I can do this. Thanks so much.
This is the best tutorial, thank you
You did an EXCELLENT job explaining the procedure and also the logic behind why you do certain steps. Very pleasant to watch and listen to. I never did a lace design and after watching your video, I feel so comfortable doing this procedure. Thank you!
Great, can't wait to make it!!
This is excellent! I definitely needed this video
Thanks for the video! And thank you for getting right to the point!
I loved this but still having problems with trims and knots on the backs of FSL; It's fine if only doing the design all in one colour, but I'm using 2 colours; and everytime my Brother Innov-is V3 jumps to the next selection even in the same colour it trims it off as it has auto jump trims, this leaves threads and a tie off at the back; I then have to try chopping the extra threads off at the end; Is there anyway around this please; Lorraine UK
Thanks for the video, excellent teacher. Just received a embroidery machine for our anniversary. Needed help!
Thank you for this complete information! I have done a few FSL but they didn’t look professional, and I believe you have solved my issues! Thank You!
You are awesome! Thank you for giving me the confidence to jump right into it.
I wish my instruction manual was as easy to understand as you are. Thank you.
Glad to help!
Thank you for doing this video
Thanks!!! I just got a Janome 200e, and wanted to do this but haven't had good luck. Probably my stabilizer. Will try this stuff, I think. Can't wait to see what you do with the stabilizer scraps.
Brilliant tutorial thank you for sharing
You're welcome. :)
Will apply idea of bringing up bobbin thread for everything now on.😊
nice machine!!!! love babyloc
I'm a newbie at FSL and have struggled, but your tutorial is so clear - thank you! I'm now motivated to give it another go. I always bring the bobbin thread up when quilting, but didn't think to do that with FSL Duh!
You have such a beautiful Machine
I’m late to the video but Thank you so much!! As a somewhat new person to the hobby who just bought a brother innovis only to find out there’s not a lot of tutorials for this type of stuff, I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s possible to make free-standing designs by embroidering only on stabilizer with no fabric and it looks like it is! So excited to try it.
very pretty! !
I agree with others. You are an excellent teacher. I have watched many videos. Often I either get bored, or can't understand what the teacher is saying(literally). It is always good to be able to understand the process behind what you are learning.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy it. :)
Thanks Vanessa.
Had a bit of trouble with my first go. I recently picked up a BabyLock Ellegante2, second hand so I thought I'd give this a try. I have been doing machine embroidery since my first Designer 1 in 2003 but haven't done any in awhile .. I had some wash away in my stash and found a design for lace to use that came within the machines freebies. It doesn't completely interlock. OOPS! Looks good but will be in pieces once it hits the water. I will have to be more careful with my next selection. I love the tip of using the same thread for the bobbin. I usually use the recommended in white or black and have problems sometimes with the bobbin thread showing. I have been very impressed with your videos. You are a great teacher for one so young.
Phyllis, try adding some tulle over the stabilizer before you embroider. This will keep the design from tearing apart. there is a video on yt describing this process.
I always learn something new from you, thank you! The flowers look so pretty on the towel you are using to dry them on, that I could imagine stitching them down there as one of the design ideas, lol! But then I would sew them on a tear away stabilizer, right?
Have been watching lots of embroidery tutorials sine I just bought an embroidery machine and am new to this. In fact, I bought the Spirit after you mentioned it in your video and looking at other machines. Thanks for that advice. I’ve only had it a few weeks, but have been playing with it, and so far, am very, very impressed. I would like some advice on stabilizers. When I went to buy some, I noticed that the cut away and tear away came in different weights. Do you have any advice on what fabrics to use these different weights? I need to buy some soon. Thanks. I really enjoy all your tutorials.
Love, love, love your videos! Do you have a recommendation for which software is best to learn how to digitize?
I just watched this video and loved it. Have you already done the follow up video on what to do with the leftover stablizer? What's the title?
Love your videos. New sub. This machine isn’t linked but it’s awesome!!!!
Loved this video! I am hooked on FSL!!! Looking for your video on how to use leftover WSS! Please help! would love to have less waste! Thanks!
Hi Vanessa. Have you ever knitted these flowers into one of your sweaters? I would love to see a video for that if you feel it is a good idea. Ty for all that you do for us!
I'll be waiting for your video to show what we can do with our leftover stabilizer. It kills me to throw so much left over away:)
busgoose Do not throw away. mix with a little water. good starch. also good to spray om other material to embroidery with..
Me too. Please post video on what to do with left over
I agree with all the comments about how clear the instructions are. I wish you had shown how to change the bobbin with colors, as I still don’t understand how to line up the hoop after removing it to change the bobbin. Does the machine automatically know where it stopped? Do you need to reposition hoop by hand? Thanks!
opo kui cuk.... suwiiii....
my goodnenn what a machine
Indeed it is a beast!
i love your videos, but can you tell me how i can take a regular embroidery design and make it a free standing design....like say in your video it was a full design and i wanted to add heat n bond to the back of it to give to someone to let them put on something, do you know how I would do that? Do i first do a design on say like a canvas but i am stuck as to the edges are just regular...hope I am not confusing you...thanks
I agree with MrsKazza55. Your videos are great. My wife and I are new and these vids really help.
Thanks
Glad to help! :)
Could you use fabric stiffener on it rather than leaving stabilizer in it?
Just got a 2nd hand brother pe770 for 600 dollars cad. Can't wait to try fsl.
Love your machine mine is so old it has a old scan card that you have to put in your machine
I loved your Which side of the wash away stabilizer faces up on my hoop? The flat or the rough side?
would you please teach some in the hoop projectslike a mug rug or small bag and also patches and other free standing projects
I would love to try creating these lace effect designs, thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. However, I am not having much success. I am using Avalon Film water soluble stabilizer but the bobbin thread keeps knotting after a few stitches. Any tips would be much appreciated, thanks.
If you decide that you want more stabilizer rinsed off once the design has dried, can you rinse it again ? Thanks for the series. Looking forward to more tutorials.
Hi! Did you ever make the bookmark video? Also, I am interested in creating FSL designs. Do you have any instruction for doing so? I have Brother BES4 software but am lost and wondering if it’s even a possibility with this software. Thanks. 😊
I love that self threader! I’m a squinted and poker….takes so long, ugh
So we really don't need fabric? Can I use any brand of water soluble stabilizer? Can make patches with this method?
Are there certain setting needed to do this on the pe770? Thanks for the video!
Hi Venessa are you going yo have anymore different flower designs to go with these. Issue hope so. Thank you
Can you use any of the designs in the book that came with the machine for "free standing"? Don't you have to use toulle to keep it together?
What stabilizer I can use for shine silk?
Thank you I love doing FSL in the hoop, I like to try something new and that is using organza fabric and add a pin to put on a jacket, hat , how do I do that??
My Brother PE750D won't let me embroider out the handle for the basket in the free standing lace design Marie Osmond Expressive Lace "Home Expressions" #802 Crafter's Collection. It says design to big for the hoop. Putting on a larger hoop doesn't help; the machine refuses to embroider it out. Wish there was a way to over ride that by using a larger hoop.
Any ideas? I also love your tutorials.
Hi, How to I access the 1st embroidery video? Thank you,
Vanessa: I am in a quandry. I have a very old husqvarna machine. So old that it was before 3.5" and zip drives for transferring data to the machine. Do you have the ability to create the files for the husqvarna machine. (hus). If so, how much is the cost for the lace data? Thank you for your classes. I love the way you teach, it puts a smile on my face.
I just love ur videos. I went to Jenny haskins show a few yrs ago, and they told us to use 2 sheets of water stabilizer cris cross for very dense designs. Do u find that using one sheet gives u the same effects?
So even though the bobbin thread would be 40 wt instead of 90 wt like the Brother machine normally uses, there is no need to adjust any tension? thanks for a very informative video and I like your tip of bringing up the bobbin to start.
Where did you learn how to design free standing lace? Or can you make a video of how you design it? I use Embird design studio but I can't find a good resource for learning how to do free standing lace designs.
Ok so probably a silly question ..but can we do this on the Brother embroidery machine as well?😜
Would be pretty with vergated threads also
When will you have the bookmark pattern available?
Great video, what size needle ? And speed is needed for this?
looking for your video on what to do with the extra WSS. can you give me the link, Please.
how or what could you use to add backing to make a iron on patch for free standing designs? I would like to iron this on a shirt
Can you make this design smaller to make earrings? Or would that mess up your pretty design. thanks
Did you have to change out your bobbin case to accommodate the different weight bobbin thread (instead of the weight of the recommended Finishing Touch bobbin thread)?
please tell me price of sweing machine and from where i can buy it I am in Toronto.
السﻻم عليكم ماهو نوع الماكنة وكم سعرها واين ممكن ان اجدها انا من العراق
Hmmm....I tried the other free standing lace - with heart in the middle and the background lattice only did a little bit of it and then went back to outline of flower - so I think it was a mistake? Can you let me know? The lattice background does not go all the way around - only a very small portion.
