Baby the Stars Shine Bright rose lace machine embroidery pattern:
I like this lace
So I digitized it for embroidery.
This is not a freestanding design. You need to embroider this onto a fabric. Don't try to just do this on wash-away stabilizer and make a trim. It's not ready for that, and it'll fall apart.
Files are here. Once I've given this a test run, I'll update with a picture of how it stitches. For now, these are untested and should be sampled before you decide to sew it onto your project. If you have 60wt thread, it will probably look better than with 40wt.
Files included in that folder: single repeat in VP3 and PES files, 4x repeat (as shown on the screenshot up there) in PES, VP3, and VP3 with alignment markers for mega endless hoop. If anyone wants a PES with alignment stitches, let me know.
This design stitches out slightly bigger than the official lace. Official lace is 4cm repeat and this is a 6.2cm repeat. This is because it's hard to make small things in embroidery. This is already pretty dense and finicky, so please resize down at your own risk, and run a test run before you do it on your important project! You can easily make this 150% bigger without serious problems, though.
There's also a jump stitch over the front of the lefthand rose. I tried really hard and couldn't make it go away, so you'll just have to clip it out when you're done. One jump stitch over a 3k stitch design is not too bad, so I will not apologize for it.
Anyway, have fun!
Update: you can and, in my opinion, definitely should resize these down to 50-60% of the original size of my file. Most machines will only let you go down to 80%, so I'll post updated files when this test is done stitching.
Full size on top, 60% on bottom. Mettler 60wt silk finish cotton as top thread, clear-glide poly prewound for bobbin. Doubled tear-away stabilizer and stretch twill baste-floated onto it. Topaz 50 with sensor q foot.
BIG NEWS, EVERYONE:
They free-stand! They don't connect to each other (unless you manually place them so that the leaves are touching) but you can stitch out the motif onto wash-away stabilizer and get a single motif to do with whatever you feel like!
New files are here.
New files are:
PES: SingleRoseLace, RoseLace5by7, RoseLace6by10. File names should be self-explanatory.
VP3: SingleRoseLace, RoseLaceEndless1, RoseLaceMegaEndless. Going on an assumption here that if you want to use the Viking Endless Hoop (or the Pfaff Creative Endless Hoop) or Viking Mega Endless Hoop (or the Pfaff Creative Grand Endless Hoop), you're going to want it as a VP3. Please check that the design isn't upside-down before you stitch out.
Also, default thread color has been turned to gray because it's hard on my machine to see white stitch out on the screen.
Larger-size files are still in the folder, but they're all renamed with OLD as a prefix.
