French Embroidery Eyelets and Stiletto Technique

The article describes making French embroidery eyelets in sprays or wreaths for underwear, children's clothes, or household items. Use a sharp ivory or bone stiletto to punch through to the eyelet outline, secure with small backstitches near the edge, and stitch around with over and over stitches. Nonround eyelets are cut with sharp embroidery scissors and embroidered the same way.
