Tips: Embroidery on perforated paper

I have a little stash of perforated paper that I bought on a whim, but I’ve never come up with a use for it. Thanks to Mary Corbet (Needle ‘n’ Thread), the stash is likely to become a collection of lacy bookmarks for “tuck in with a card” Christmas gifts.

Mary shows us her experiments with creating paper-lace nameplates and graciously clues us in on some of the pitfalls. For example, she says, “I like cutting the paper, but I’ve learned that it’s easier to stitch first and cut later, even though this requires very careful planning and counting.” I can’t wait to try my hand at this embroidery application. You, too? Find out more from Mary’s blog post and the linked book review.Looking for more Christmas Embroidery Patterns? Check these out on Etsy
