16th Century Blackwork Embroidery | Needle, Fabric, Frame, Thread, & Pattern

Learn about Holbein Stitch (the earlier form of blackwork embroidery from the 16th century), along with what type of sewing needle to use, fabric, embroidery frame, thread, and how to recreate historic patterns.

 


 

Recently, I made a video where I wanted to see how long I could talk about blackwork embroidery before I had to leave to start my day. After the recording stopped, I realized that there were certain things that I had not discussed (such as embroidery frames), along with pictures that I had wanted to share but did not have time to edit to include. This is a combination of various videos that I have recorded over the last few years. 

 

Check out my embroidery books!
