Judy,  there are no really good instruction books in english on Puncetto.  I would suggest you get a copy of The Ancor Manual of Needlework, used, from Amazon.  Also, The Complete Encyclopedia of Needlework by Dillmomy has some info on knotted lace.  You can also download Signorina Rizxu's book from the Smithsonian site.  The link is listed above.

Thanks Linda, I've only practiced with the instructions that's on the internet I can't seem to locate a book. From what I can tell some of it is done diagonally so I'm not sure how to start some of the pieces. Some instructions would be nice.

Judy,  I would be glad to help and guide anyone who wants to learn Puncetto.

Linda Moore I have to ask since your work is so beautiful, will any of your pieces become available to work with instructions for us beginners?

Stitch them together and make a Patchwork quilt - well Patchwork tray cloth,. table runner, doily etc.  Odd shapes might fit together , if they are not all squares!

Isn't Normandy Lace all bits & pieces stitched together?  why not a needlemade version - (Puncetto!)?

Hi Avital, Puncetto squares are usually used to insert in table cloths+napkins, handkerchiefs, table lamps, baby bibs (I've done a lot myself for friends...when I became a mother I understood how unuseful they were:-)  ), bed linen.

If they are small and colored, you can use them for earrings/bracelets.

You can also insert them in clothes. Regarding your fear of "wear and tear" don't worry, it often happens that old fabrics (usually cotton or linen) deteriorate, whilst the Puncetto insert still remains as new after many many years.

I have a lot of square samples too, since they are almost all white, I use them to decorate the Christmas Tree, just adding a red bow in one angle.

What do people do with their Puncetto squares? I don't have anything large enough for an edging or inset. The other day I came upon a bunch of Puncetto samples curling in a box. Any ideas for ways to use them? I'm hesitant to put them into something that will get a lot of wear and tear, like clothing, because they took so long to make and I doubt that I will ever make them in large quantities.

Interested in hearing what other people are doing!
