A unique technique (Lunéville embroidery) is used, in which a special crochet hook is used to embroider many beads and sequins from the back of the fabric. The crochet hooks used are "Crochet de Lunéville" "Beads Couture" Clover It is also called. The biggest feature is that you can stitch a lot of beads and sequins accurately and quickly, and once you get used to it, you can embroider as if you were drawing a picture. A special needle with a deep hook-shaped tip is held like a pen with the dominant hand, and the thread is hooked on the tip with the other hand while stitching. Since this is a needle that uses both hands to embroider, it cannot be used without a stand-type embroidery frame or a frame that can be fixed to a desk.
