CRAFT ' Lace net embroidery Today’s lace net embroidery is a fresh and appealing approach to the traditional technique of “lace net darning.” The finished look gives the impression of filet crochet and can be incorporated into clothing and home decor in much the same ways. Detailed design surrounded by airy open space can be easily achieved with the use of one quickly learned stitch. The Reprise stitch, also known as the darning or weaving stitch, is usually stitched in perle white cotton on white net, or perle ecru cotton on ecru net. However, interestmg results can be achieved by using narrow ribbons, colored threads or yarns. Once you’ve become familiar with the basic stitching technique, try adding beads or other decorative stitches. SC &EK P.O.

Refer to the diagram for stitching direction and interpretation of pattern. When becoming familiar with the Reprise stitch, it is important to remember that you always work over one thread (of the net) more than the number of blocks in a given row. Begin by bringing your needle up from underneath, leaving an 8-to 10-inch end to be woven in later. Move your needle over the first horizontal thread of the net and under the next. Refering to the diagram, repeat this weaving until the vertical space is filled. You will find that four lines work well with this fabric count and thread weight, but experiment and see Home Phones We have the right size, weight, shape, price and engine available.
