Thanks for understanding.

Stitch out the required number of pieces for the doily – normally 8 side pieces and one centre piece as you would for any free standing lace design. 

 Do not remove water soluble stabiliser until after you have sewn up the doily.

 Stitch together using a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine, making sure the satin stitch edging is touching not overlapping.

 Stitch together the 8 side pieces.  I found it easier to leave the last seam unstitched. 

 Take the centre piece and carefully position and then stitch in place.

 Finally stitch up the remaining side seam.

 You then have a finished doily.

 Soak to remove the water soluble stabiliser and leave to dry.  Press on reverse if necessary.
