Cutwork Monogram Set 1: $39.95

Cutwork is an heirloom embroidery technique incorporating open areas into the overall design. In "Richelieu" cutwork, distinctive buttonhole bars cross the open areas. This handwork technique can be created by machine using heavy-duty water soluble stabilizer. The artwork for this monogram style comes from 1917.

Step-by-Step instructions are provided. For those not inclined to use the cutwork option this monogram style still looks beautiful.
