<p>Eyelet is both a type of cutwork <a href="Embroidery" title="Embroidery">embroidery</a> and the fabric made from embroidering cutwork. Cutwork is used to create eyelet fabrics by cutting small holes and embroidering the edges of those holes to finish them. Common base fabrics include <a href="Broadcloth" title="Broadcloth">broadcloth</a>, <a href="Cambric" title="Cambric">batiste</a>, <a href="Lawn_cloth" title="Lawn cloth">lawn</a>, linen, <a href="Organdy" title="Organdy">organdy</a>, and <a href="Piqu%C3%A9_(weaving)" title="Piqué (weaving)">pique</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Leather and <a href="Artificial_leather" title="Artificial leather">pleather</a><sup id="cite_ref-:2_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> can also be used in cutwork, but often they are not then finished with embroidery.
</p><p>The amount and closeness of stitching, as well as the quality of the background fabric, may vary in different types. Eyelet fabrics are an ever-popular type of fabric<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and are used for both entire clothing pieces or for trimming pieces made from other cloth.

</p><p>Hand-sewn eyelet is labor-intensive to produce by hand and traditionally was only used as trim or, when used in large pieces, only for expensive items; machine-made eyelet fabric made the fabric affordable for everyday wear.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>The cutwork technique originated in Italy at the time of the <a href="Italian_Renaissance" title="Italian Renaissance">Renaissance</a>, approximately the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Renaissance embroidery and Richelieu work, the design is formed by cutting away the background fabric.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the <a href="Elizabethan_era" title="Elizabethan era">Elizabethan era</a>, cutwork was incorporated into the design and decoration of some <a href="Ruff_(clothing)" title="Ruff (clothing)">ruffs</a>. In a fashion sense, this type of needlework has migrated to countries around the world,<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> including the United Kingdom, India, and the United States.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Czech_Republic">Czech Republic</h4></div>
<p>Densely worked cutwork was traditional in many parts of the Czech Republic. Motifs might be circular, arc, or leaf-shaped. Because the motifs were often so close together, the embroidery looked like lace once all the motif centers were cut away.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 120">: 120 </span></sup>
</p><p><b>Cyprus</b>
</p><p>Lefkaritika is the characteristic type of <a href="Embroidery" title="Embroidery">embroidery</a> art in <a href="Cyprus" title="Cyprus">Cyprus</a>, dating back to at least the fourteenth century. The first Lefkara Lace was made from the local white cotton fabric produced in Cyprus. A combination of stitches and cuts is used. Women embroideresses in <a href="Pano_Lefkara" title="Pano Lefkara">Pano Lefkara</a>, called "ploumarisses" organised their production from home.

<p>Embroidery pattern books after 1560 focused heavily on cutwork, as it became very popular in Italy. Initially, scrolling patterns worked in <a href="Punto_in_Aria" title="Punto in Aria">punto in aria</a> were most evident, changing at the end of the century to <a href="Reticella" title="Reticella">reticella</a>. The punto in aria technique involved laying threads over a linen ground, and then cutting the ground away. It was often use for freer patterns than the more geometric reticella, where squares of the ground cloth were cut out and embroidery was then applied.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 138">: 138 </span></sup>

<p>in the 1850s, an Englishwoman, Miss Phelps, arrived in Madeira to recuperate, and she gave lessons in broderie anglaise. In the 1920s, after noting many skilled needlewomen. the Madeira Embroidery Guild was formed. Amongst its purposes was to set the pay and standards for embroiderers on the island. As indicated by the existence of the guild, many women in Madeira engaged in embroidery as a way of earning money for their families.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Cutwork was popular throughout the Netherlands. An especially fine form of cutwork is called snee werk, used for decorating clothing such as aprons and blouses, and household items such as pillowcases.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 185">: 185 </span></sup>

The eyelet form of cutwork was popular in the Polish countryside from the 1700s, if not earlier. It was used to decorate costumes and textiles for the home. The execution of this hand embroidery reached its height in the late 1800s, a prosperous time with more money for clothing. Eyelet embroidery was found on men's clothing as well as women's. For those who couldn't afford larger garments, eyelet collars that could be used to adorn different blouses were popular. Cutwork was usually done on white fabric, but around <a href="Sieradz" title="Sieradz">Sieradz</a>, a pink and white striped cloth was sometimes used. Eyelet patterns were geometrical until the late 1800s. With the introduction of machine embroidery, designs became more diverse.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 125–132">: 125–132 </span></sup> </p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Hand_cutwork">Hand cutwork</h2></div>
<p>Hand cutworks is the most traditional form of cutwork. Here, areas of the fabric are cut away and stitch is applied to stop the raw edges from fraying.<sup id="cite_ref-SorgerUdale2006_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SorgerUdale2006-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Laser_cutwork">Laser cutwork</h2></div>
<p>Laser cutwork allows for more precise and intricate patterns to be created. The laser also has the ability to melt and seal the edges of fabric with the heat of the laser. This helps against fabric fraying during the creation process.<sup id="cite_ref-SorgerUdale2006_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SorgerUdale2006-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Additionally, using a laser for cutwork enables the embroiderer or creator to achieve unique designs such as an 'etched look' by changing the depth of the laser cut into the fabric.
