My Book Review for The Stitching Book, specifically the Blackwork Embroidery Section.
If you are a beginner with embroidery, then this book will be informative.
Blackwork embroidery is also known as double-running stitch or Holbein stitch. Historically, it was typically found as silk thread embroidered on white linen in a reversible stitch.For more historical information (plus a step by step on how to begin) on blackwork embroidery, please visit:https://youtu.be/lcZsoB71XZQ
