This version of the angel has
different clipboard stitches in the lace, and a higher stitch
count. It takes more than an hour to stitch on my Brother, but it
is a sturdier design. Even so, you need to use two layers or more
of petticoat net. Do not use tulle or bridal veil, neither will
stand upright without wrinkles. This version can also be stitched
on fabric, but since the wings turn back, you need to use two
layers of fabric and expect the bobbin thread to show. I stitched
this one with 30 weight cotton thread from Madeira USA, and a NEBS
prewound bobbin. I made several with 40 weight rayon thread, and
they were satisfactory, but not as good as cotton.
