Recommended Supplies
Needles – Tapestry Size 24
Tapestry needles have a blunt end to the point of the needle so that the needle does not catch or pierce the threads of the counted fabric when working from one hole to the next. The tapestry needle has a long eye for easier threading.
I use the No. 24 Tapestry needles in my Hapsburg Lace kits.

The Hapsburg lace technique gets is name from a Lady from the Hapsburg dynasty who developed the style, selecting the most lacy canvas stitches to mimic real lace in the form of needlework.
The Hapsburg lace patterns are worked from a chart and the instruction booklet in the kit has lots of step-by-step diagrams and instructions on how to work each pattern.
The individual snowflake patterns make great greeting cards, you have the option of purchasing an extra piece of canvas to make greeting cards or a second sampler as the spool of thread will make two samplers.
To get nice holes at the center of the eyelets without having to pull hard on the stitches (which can distort the canvas) I suggest using a brass stiletto…..enlarge the hole in the canvas prior to stitching the eyelet.
The sampler fits nicely in to a 5 1/2 inch bell pull.
I am offering free on-going critique with this kit…..you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery.
I offer this design at a lower cost for groups.
Purchase pieces of 18 count mono canvas for your own designs.
