Free Lace

Up

Free Lace allows you to use every fiber we have to create the fiber collage of your dreams.  We have free lace paper from Mokuba in several sizes or from our 29 inch wide continuous roll.  Just add a sewing machine, water and voila - Free Lace

Fibers are a specialty at Florilegium, and our selection is constantly growing. There are hand-dyed silks, linens, rayons, chenilles, metallics and so much more. Buy it by the inch or the mile!!

The Mokuba Free Lace Sheet has a single sticky side covered by a protective paper and a clear sheet to lay over the piece after you have placed the fibers and just before you sew the piece. 

When you are ready to begin, cut the free lace to the dimensions that fit your piece.  It is OK to place sheets end to end or beside each other to make items that are longer or wider.  Then, lay the free lace sheet on a table and peel the protective paper from the sticky sheet being sure you have the sticky side up. Begin placing yarn, ribbons or other fibers and things in a pattern pleasing to you

When you've finished placing the fibers and ribbons, place the clear sheet over the sticky one - this gives you a surface to stitch. Once you've sealed it with a quick hand smoothing over the clear surface, begin stitching. You can stitch any way you wish from a grid to swirls and zigzags over the surface using decorative, clear or plain thread.  The stitching should touch enough of the fibers to hold the piece together.

Once you're happy with your layout, take the whole thing and place it in room temp water. The sticky stuff and the clear stuff will both dissolve within a minute or so (continued rinsing for four minutes or so will remove the remaining starchy residue). Less soaking will leave some body in the piece and work well for wall hangings.

We sell the Mokuba Free Lace for $0.03/sq inch from our 29 inch wide roll. 

A 12" by 29" piece would be $10.44 and will make a 6" by 58" scarf.
