“During the Victorian, Edwardian eras and the early 20th century, hand worked petit point became a specialty in France, Austria, and Hungary. The finer petit points held at least 900 stitches per square inch, some micro petit points have been known to consist of up to 3,000 stitches per square inch.”
Most noteworthy micro petit point embroidered all flesh area face, neck, hands, feet. As a result, the very fine stitches create incredible details and depth of field. Well, how many stitches you ask. I lost count at 1,680 in a square inch…Jesus’ face!
