Chicken Scratch Embroidery—also known as Amish embroidery, Broderie Suisse, Depression Lace, Hoover Lace, Snowflake Embroidery, Australian Cross Stitch, and Tenerife Lace—is an easy-to-learn technique that transforms a few simple stitches on gingham into delicate, lace-like patterns. The size and colour of the gingham squares, along with your choice of thread, allow you to create designs ranging from elegantly simple to intricately detailed.
