Hardanger embroidery designs, which can be performed by a sewing machine, preferably a computerized machine with digitized design embroidery patterns. The method employs a layer of fabric 11 and a layer of removable stabilizer 12 . A wingneedle stitches square eyelet patterns reminiscent of hand-sewn hardanger. Sets of concentric underlay stitch lines 15 bind fabric 11 and removable stabilizer 12 about cutwork sections 16 before removing fabric from said cutwork sections. Sets of intersecting underlay stitch lines 18 replace bar threads in cutwork sections. Each set of intersecting underlay stitch lines 18 is anchored to sets of concentric underlay stitch lines 15 and associated fabric 11 . Lace fill stitches 19 stitch onto removable stabilizer 12 in conjunction with intersecting underlay stitch lines. Lace fill stitches are anchored to either intersecting or concentric underlay stitch lines. Both concentric and underlay stitch lines are sewn in sets of at least two separate stitch lines in which each set of stitch lines are approximately parallel. The normal, cross-sectional distance across any set of underlay stitch lines is nearly as long as associated finishing stitches width. Finishing stitches 20 sew normal to, or otherwise cover, all sets of underlay stitch lines and associated cut fabric edges. Finishing stitch widths uniformly and sufficiently cover underlay stitch lines and fabric edges. Underlay stitch patterns 22 sew before and beneath hardanger motifs to locally bind fabric and removable stabilizer. Underlay stitch patterns permit scaling of hardanger motifs independent of fabric choice and emboss said hardanger motifs. Once a hardanger embroidery design is completed, removable stabilizer 12 is removed, leaving a hardanger embroidery design stitched to fabric.
