The Jacobean linen twill fabric is the traditional fabric used for Jacobean crewel embroidery and is woven in Scotland.
The fabric is stiff and heavy and can be used for embroidered tapestries, drapes, pictures, fire screens and cushions.

This traditional Jacobean Linen Twill fabric has the characteristic diagonal weave on both sides of the fabric.

Before stitching on the fabric it should be washed by hand, in hand hot water, soaked for a while and then rinsed so that the stiffening is removed from the fabric. Fabric shrinkage after washing is 8 to 10% on length and 6 to 8% on width, each weaving is unique because the raw fibre varies so much so shrinkage may differ slightly. The fabric can be ironed dry on the back of the fabric.

The silk organza fabric is a fine transparent fabric that is strong, non-stretchy, non-shiny and non-glossy unlike some organza fabrics. It makes a great fabric for shadow work embroidery as the embroidery becomes the feature and not the fabric.

The embroideries in the pictures opposite are worked on silk organza fabric in herringbone stitch.

Stretcher bars are inexpensive wooden embroidery frames in which the fabric can be pulled really tight. The end of the bars have teeth that you slot together to form a frame at any size that you require for your needlework. I recommend the stretcher bar frames to work my hand embroidery kits in because they are very quick to assemble and the fabric stays taught in the frame.

I highly recommend purchasing the brass thumb tacks which are stronger and sharper than office supplies thumb tacks or quilters thumb tacks.

Please visit the following webpage for instructions on how to assemble a stretcher bar frame and choosing the right size for your needlework: Stretcher Bar Frames Information

Embroidery or crewel needles have a long eye for easier threading, a slender shaft and a sharp point to the needle so that the stitches can be worked close together and there is more control for the placement of the stitches.

The needles can be used for surface embroidery and sewing.

Crewel/embroidery needles are not suitable for counted thread work as the point of the needle would easily catch the threads of the fabric, distorting the counted work.

Size 10 are my choice needles for fine surface embroidery in which only one single strand of silk thread or embroidery cotton is used.

For very fine embroidery. when only using a single strand of fine thread or for sewing down No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 gold purl threads use size 12 crewel embroidery.

The magni-clips are magnifiers that clip onto the bridge of your glasses, they can be flipped up when not in use and put down over your glasses for close up work.

The magni-clips are light weight and rimless so as not to distract from your stitching. Excellent for all types of hand embroidery and close up work.

If you do not know the magnification that you require I suggest trying out different reading glasses over your current glasses to find out the magnification that you require.

The fabric is durable, firm to the feel and handles taking out stitches well and can be washed once the embroidery is complete.

The fabric has even weave threads so that stitches/patterns will work out more regular than on an uneven weave such as linen fabric. It has a nice smooth and firm surface so that when the embroidery is complete the viewer sees the embroidery and is not distracted by the fabric.

Wire needle threaders are for all sizes of needles but are most useful for fine needles as it enables you to thread the really small eyed needles easier.
The metal wire loop of the needle threader is threaded into the eye of the needle (much easier than threading in a strand of thread), the thread is then threaded into the wire loop of the threader and then the wire loop and embroidery thread are pulled back through the eye of the needle, the thread is now threaded into the needle.
