NEW Exclusive Line of Liturgical Lace Edging

We have received a new line of liturgical lace edging, also known as church lace or altar lace.

Only a very small handful of manufacturers in Europe, let make lace with natural materials such as linen and cotton, of such exceptional beauty and finest quality.

The lace edgings listed below are all made in Germany, 100% cotton.

They are often used as edging for altar cloths, church curtains and other Christian-themed accessories.
The laces are sectional, and therefore offer endless possibilities of using them.

Which stabilizer to pick, when stitching on small, or hard-to-hoop items? Personally, I prefer to use one of these 2 types:
1. For items that can be later washed - Water Soluble fabric;
2. In other cases - Peel-N-Stick backing. This stabilizer is now available in additional pack sizes.
