I’m sorry this is more tedious than the one click purchase option on other upscale sites. This is more like a yard sale–bargain prices, changing inventory, and limited quantities. You might be surprised at some of the unique items I have in my stash/hoard/collection!

E-23 is a sweet little edge, perfect for babies and dolls. Stitching over the header into the vertical bars leaves the row of holes exposed. It looks just like entredeux. See it up close on the doll bedding.
E-20...$$1.00 per yard...1/4" wide...copper
E-20 is so unique. The color is just spectacular. A friend used this lace as trim on an ivory linen ring bearer’s button on suit. It was so lovely. This lace will gather, but you lose the effect of the cordonnet. It looks best, I think, flat.

- One of my favorites, which I call chameleon lace because it is so versatile. This is one of the most useful, multipurpose laces I have ever used. A scant 1/4″ wide, before your very eyes it can change from a tiny insertion to an edging to itty bitty beading.
- The scallops are shallow enough that you can join either edge to another lace or entredeux or even roll and whip it to fabric just as you would any tiny insertion.As an edging, the delicate scallop in combination with the tiny holes makes it look like tiny edging joined to entredeux.
- Embroidery floss can be woven through the holes to simulate ribbon in beading.It is wonderful for doll and baby clothing.
I used this on Alastair’s Easter bubble last year and as the edge of a Swiss flannel baby blanket
