Attach the hoop to the machine and embroider the design.

First, the cotton portion of the design will sew.

The stabilizer's packaging should give instructions for removing the excess. For Vilene, soak the lace pieces for a few moments.

Place the front piece ("a") and the bottom piece ("b") together with the wrong sides facing each other.

Make sure to line the bottom center of the front piece up with the center of one of the shorter sides of the bottom piece.

Using the same thread from the main part of the lace, hand sew the two pieces together, carefully lining up the edges.

Make sure to start in at the center and sew out towards each side to assure that the pieces will line up properly.

Next take the two side pieces ("c" and "d"), and line them up with the right sides together.

Hand sew along the short, straight side to create the back seam of the baby bootie.

Hand tack the side pieces onto the front piece to help the baby bootie hold its shape.

Now that the lace baby bootie is completely assembled, cut a 11" length of ribbon.

Use a large needle to thread the ribbon through the holes found on each of the side pieces, and make sure the ribbon goes under the tongue of the front piece.

Tie the ribbon into a bow to complete the look.

Give this adorable lace baby bootie as a gift for your loved ones at baby showers or welcome parties.

Or, make a pair to hang in a nursery!

Sew in different colors to match your decor, or in all white for a beautiful look.
