Reticello Lace Embroidery Pattern, Tenderness Design, 96-Page Step-by-Step PDF Guide

Tenderness — Embroidery eBook / Pattern

Tenderness is my original embroidery design, created for those who love delicate openwork, counted-thread embroidery and intricate decorative details.

This is a complete step-by-step digital eBook, not simply a pattern. I have explained every stage of the embroidery in detail, with photographs and diagrams to guide you through the process.

The design combines a carefully constructed withdrawn-thread grid with delicate openwork fillings and decorative embroidery stitches. You will also learn how to create beautiful lace-like corners, Rococo flowers, Sorbello stitch, counted satin-stitch details and Punto Smerlo (buttonhole stitch) elements.
