The design I used for this project actually wasn't designed for free-standing lace, so it is important that I used a fibrous water soluble stabilizer. Other removable stabilizers (the see through kind) would completely be removed, and the stitches would fall apart. If you try using non-freestanding lace designs for something like this, one important thing to look for is that all the design elements are connected, unless you want to piece the pieces together on the candle rather than as one freestanding element.

Hi Linda! Kirsten used the Swirl Poinsettia from the Christmas Swirls design pack, but any freestanding lace design will do.
(You are right that you'll want to be sure to purchase freestanding lace and not a design that just says "lace" or "lacy".)

thanks for the confirmation Heather, I would love to try this and I love the idea about when the candle burns down then you have a beautiful lace figure to keep...

is there any special lacy design we should use to complete this project? Wouldn't it be the stand up lace designs so the stitches stay together?
