FINE WHITE
WORK PEAR BRANCH
The Pear
Branch is a beginner to advanced Fine White work technique.
The
kit has detailed instructions and lots of diagrams to guide your
through the embroidery. The instructions are written with the
beginner in mind and intended to guide embroiderers of any level
through the embroidery from beginning to end. The fabric comes
with the design hand drawn on so there are no worries about
transferring the design.
Working the embroidery:
Three layers of fabric (two layers of shadow
linen with a layer of net sandwiched
in-between) are sewn together with embroidery stitches.
When all the embroidery has been worked,
layers of linen are cut away from the
back or the front of the work. This
will leave some areas with two layers of fabric,
some with one layer of fabric and
some with net.
On the single layer of fabric pulled
stitches are worked, in the net areas net
stitches are worked. (The embroidery stitches are straight
forward and worked with white floss on white fabric, the threads
of the fabric are counted for the pulled work).
This white work project is suitable for intermediate to advanced
embroiderers.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free

I
recommend stretcher bar frames to work Fine White Work in as you can
get excellent tension on all four sides of the embroidery resulting
in smoother stitches. For information about the frames visit my Embroidery
Frames webpage. (Parcel Mail costs apply to stretcher
bar frames).
10 Inch Stretcher Bar Frame and Thumb Tacks: $15.00 Canadian Dollars
All
White Work kits come with one No. 10 embroidery needle. As these
fine embroidery needles can be difficult to come by I have given you
the option to order extra needles below and the option to order a
stretcher bar embroidery frame and tacks to work the embroidery in.
(Parcel Mail costs apply to stretcher bar frames).
