Professional Products for Professional Results!
Accept no substitutes! LACY'S is a refined and smooth beading foundation--it won't
snag your threads or your hands. At last, a product that takes the drag out of your beading foundation: easier stitching,
and holds right to the edge!
LACY'S can work for small, delicate pieces, just as well as it holds a substantial weight (think big: sculptural
pieces, artwear, dancing shoes and pow-wow dress, dance costumes, beaded clothing, theatrical costumes, sheer personal
glam:). LACY'S is itself light, smooth, easy to bead through and tough enough to cut, glue and layer--it
will hold its shape. LACY'S is even washable and dyable. (Whether your
materials are is, of course, up to you.)
Sick of beading on less-than-cooperative materials? Use LACY'S!

| The possibilities are endless! |
Lacy's Stiff Stuff (tm) is a premium beading
foundation for cabochon beading and bead applique.
There have been a number of good books on the market for years dealing with cabochon beading and
bead embroidery. Some call for the use of index cards, layers of various materials glued together, garment interfacing
or even plastic butter tub lids as a foundation for beadwork. Lacy's Stiff Stuff(tm)
beats them all for ease of use and durability!
If you want a professional look, look for Lacy's Stiff Stuff(tm).
Pros know:
Recent books and articles in magazines recommend the use of LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm).
(See Sharon Bateman's Morning Rose Rosette, or various volumes of Beadwork, Bead
and Button, Belle Armoire and other publications available for reference on the internet.)

ADVANTAGES OF USING LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm):
- This material lasts--and lasts, and lasts. It is tough enough to use even the smallest scraps (some
of us really use even the tiny snips to shore up rounded cabochons, and scraps make great free form
pieces).
- LACY'S Stiff Stuff has been dyed and used for outdoor signs that have stood up
perfectly through New Mexico sun and snow for more than 8 years; it even has occasional industrial applications
(ask Jack:)...and still, your needle glides through this durable product so you have
less stress on your hands and your needles. The only thing that might wear out is your thread!
- No need for frames, embroidery hoops or card backing. LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm)
remains firm all the way to the edge as you work.
- LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm) can be dyed to any background
color you wish, and will still be firm!
- Cabochons can be glued to LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm) with
an E-6000(tm)-type glue and they will stay put. No need to bezel around cabs--even dichroic glass
cabs are secure on LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm).
- Since LACY'S Stiff Stuff(tm) is a porous material, you
can begin to work about 20 minutes after gluing--no need to wait until tomorrow.
- Bead embroidery patterns can be drawn on, traced through, or applied using NEW LACY'S
Self-Adhesive Pattern Sheets(tm).
