This angel is very similar
to the applique version, differing only in the halo. Since this
design is stitched on two or more layers of Petticoat net, I could
make the rays extend past the edge of the halo. The other lace
angel has a much higher stitch count, and is more sturdy. This one
stitches faster, but you must be certain to use plenty of net.
Stitch the design on the net hooped with one layer of Badge Master
(or other sturdy water soluble stabilizer). When it is completely
finished, cut it out. Don't try to trim too closely. I suggest 30
weight cotton thread for the main part of the design, because it
adds stiffness. The finished design is stitched together in one
place at the center back. Use the button sewing stitch on the
sewing machine, or a needle and thread.
