Please have a look at my wedding veil album. I called that lace needlerun because that's pretty much what I did - run the needle through the meshes until I had created the design I wanted. I have…Continue

I don't know how to link my photos into this discussion - would someone please help? I put several process photos in my album here on laceioli.ning. Here's the link to that album: http://laceioli.ning.com/photo/albums/silk-wedding-veil
I developed the pattern guides using a needle lace approach, because I was making this up as I went along. I traced my final design onto tracing paper, covered that with clear contact paper, then gently basted it to the net. Next, I carved foam blocks to fit inside my embroidery hoops to provide a supportive backing so I wouldn't stretch the net while working on it. I also cut a pair of fabric frames to lay between the net and the hoops. I sandwiched the net carefully to avoid distortion, then popped the pattern in and blocked it with the foam. The work is completed with a blunt-tipped needle for the most part, although I had to use a beading needle to apply the pearls. Ends are left long to start and cut once covered, and buried into the work at finish. I'll try to add photos of the blocks and patterns soon.

I have not taken any classes myself on embroidered net. But i study each photo I find online of that kind of work in process. Embroiderers seem to baste the paper pattern onto the cloth, and then stitch a quick outline onto the cloth so that the motifs are outlined with stitching. This outline is not stitched through the paper. The transparency of the net allows the stitcher to see the pattern and the shape of the motifs. So there is no paper to tear away.
Once the outline is stitched, the embroiderer then fills in the motifs with whatever stitches -- either needle or tambour -- she chooses. With tambour in particular, you cannot leave the paper in place because you have to keep a finger below the hoop to keep tension on the thread which the hook pulls up.
I have collected a lot of photos on my pinterest board. Some of them show work in process, and you can see the paper behind the work.
Hi Loreil! Sorry for replying super late (like a year later =.=") Right, she has the design on the paper and since started using that as it seems neater than using interfacing and then trying to tare it away or cut off. For tambour embroidery would they do the same? Or like stitch both paper and tulle and then dissolve the paper? Pictures I've seen don't show any paper backing... it seems almost freehand, but a beginner like me would sure make a mess doing that... haha
Wow! What an amazing piece. Thanks, Lorelei, for finding it and sharing.

Since we talking about embroidered net (sort of), here is a picture from a lace day in Spain.

This isn't exactly embroidered tulle, but embroidered transparent fabric, chiffon (sp??), organza??

Gosh! I have not done any Limerick for Ages, - and I have never done any tambour lace - yet! I bought a set of hooks and the handle - and that is as far as it got!!
It is there on my "To Do: list!!!!!!!
