Lace, Needle & Battenberg

An "*" before the description indicates an item that is available for wholesale distribution.

The specific techniques for forming an open lace fabric using only a needle and thread. All stitches are typically formed by variations of the simple buttonhole stitch. The basic technique is not difficult and similar to many of of the embroidery techniques. It can be learned and enjoyed by anyone interested in the needle arts to produce the most elaborate of laces. When needle stitches are used in conjunction with a pre-manufactured tape which outlines the design, the technique is commonly referred to as Battenberg Lace.
