Are you looking for some spooky but cute free-standing lace earrings to make for Halloween? We’ve got you covered with these cute FSL spiders digitized by Lisa Shaw using Embrilliance StitchArtist. (By the way – FSL stands for Free-Standing Lace in case you haven’t heard the acronym before!)

These were created during one of her SewBubbles Afterhours sessions on FaceBook. Though she’d shared the “StitchArtist digitizing how-to” when she went live, she wanted to make sure the readers of the Embrilliance project blog could get in on the fun with the final stitch ready design files.

These diminutive earring designs stitch in your smallest hoop, giving you a great way to use up your stashed small pieces of water soluble stabilizer (known under another handy embroidery acronym, WSS). She used one layer of fibrous WSS to stitch these little spiders without issue.

If you are wondering where she acquired this cute little arachnid, the history behind “Alvin the Spider” can be found in one of her previous blog posts in which Lisa provides not only the original spider graphic, but gives step by step digitizing instructions for those with StitchArtist Level 1.


This design is provided in our native .BE format, enabling you to save a stitch file for any embroidery machine.
