OCF – ONL 042
This piece is a challenge, but so worth it ! The base is a piece of lace to embroider. Lots of various Special Stitches mimic the pulled thread work etc. a genuine hand-made lace incorporates – beads and crystals are the highlights to add sparkle.
A selection of different threads and braids gives multiple effects and dimension too.
You can stitch the Hummingbirds “over-one” for a very crisp and detailed appearance – or you can use the substitution “over two” for less strain to your eyes.

The first file you get contains the design as a workshop version. But since the color elements are sometimes missing there, you get the design and key on one page, too. So you can decide from which document you want to stitch 🙂
