i'm not looking for machine cutwork i want to do it by hand. all the patterns i found on the internet were for sewing machines where you just insert a cd and your machine does it for you.

Believe it or not, I was able to find some excellent patterns under wood work, scroll saw patterns. Have fun searching the list I have provided.

You might try a more general search for books at your library or bookstore. I know I have 2 embroidery and needlework books that have instructions on cut work. One was an old primer to teach techniques and I can't find it to give you the name. The other is Reader's Digest's "Complete Guide to Needlework". The cut work is in the embroidery section.

There is a good book available through DoverPublications.com, Cutwork Embroidery and How To Do It. I find they have many inexpensive craft and needlework books. Once you understand the techniques, you can get designs in many books for use in embroidery, cutwork, etc.
Lacis.com is the website for a lace museum and store. They have many books, including cutwork books, and all kinds of lacework supplies.

I found instructions for hedebo, which is one form of cutwork.
I found a traditional cutwork pattern with instructions, link below.
Also search for Broderie Anglaise, Carrickmacross lace, whitework, and early reticella.
If I find more, I'll use "edit" to add more links to the list.

you could trace any picture and then make the lines thick, embroider it either by hand or by machine then cut out the middles.
I did this is high school forever ago and it turned out nice
good luck

Do you have an embroidery guild or heirloom sewing group in your community? They may be able to help you.

Cutwork is just like cutschool.
Only with cut work you have to call in, you can't get your mom to do it.
