Richelieu – interlaced smooth thread lines for corners and napkins. It is a technique, where specific areas of fabric are cut out along buttonhole stitches or satin stitch outlines and traditionally used for collars and cuffs from white fabric.

Richelieu embroidery, also known as cutwork, is a technique that creates elegant openwork lace by combining embroidered outlines with cut-out sections. In machine embroidery, these designs are precisely digitized to replicate the refined, vintage look of hand-stitched Richelieu lace.

This category includes floral corners, lace borders, religious symbols, decorative panels, and seasonal motifs. Many feature roses, poppies, birds, and intricate vintage-style scrollwork suitable for heirloom projects and classic decor.

These designs are ideal for decorating table linens, curtains, clothing, pillow covers, christening gowns, holiday decor, and accessories. They add a luxurious and timeless touch to both traditional and modern items.

Use tightly woven natural fabrics like linen, cotton, or batiste. A medium to heavy-weight water-soluble stabilizer is essential for supporting the openwork areas. Carefully trim fabric sections after the first outline stitching before continuing.

Some smaller or simpler Richelieu designs can be beginner-friendly, but most require intermediate experience due to the precise trimming and multi-step process. Proper hooping and patience are key to success.

Yes, Richelieu embroidery designs are provided in several hoop sizes and formats such as PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, and more, ensuring compatibility with most home and commercial embroidery machines.
