Perforated Paper Embroidery

I just read an interesting article on Perforated Paper Embroidery over at Victoriana Magazine online.

I wasn't at all aware that Perforated Paper goes back to the 1800's so I found this quite facinating.
Yes, I've done cross stitch and beading on the paper as it's still available today but I don't care for doing it since it's an "in hand" project. I prefer to hold a hoop.

Still, if you have a moment, check it out. There are some lovely examples of Victorian pieces to see!
