Fabric – Silk Organza
$8.50 – $16.99 CAD
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 Bar Frames
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.

Fabric – Tulle (Net) Honeycomb
Honeycomb tulle (net) has very even and pretty hexagon shapes and is higher quality than the standard dress making tulle which has irregular oval shapes. Tulle hexagon size is measured by the holes per inch (HPI).
The white polyester tulle is very fine and delicate and is the tulle that I use in my Carrickmacross Lace kits and Fine white Work kits There are 24 holes to the inch and is slightly stretchy.
The cotton tulle is off white in colour and the lines of the tulle are slightly thicker than the polyester tulle. The cotton tulle should be washed before use, expect 5% – 10% shrinkage.

This wonderful fine quality muslin fabric has a 205 thread count (regular muslin fabric thread count starts at 70) and makes an ideal ground fabric for needle painting and other forms of free form embroidery. I use the southern belle fabric in my needle painting kits.

Fabric – Linen Belfast 32 Count
Belfast linen fabric has 32 threads to the inch and is 100% linen. The fabric measures 55 inches wide.
The fabric has a natural look as the threads of the fabric are not even.
Experienced embroiderers love the look of linen fabric as it does not have the orderliness of even weave fabric giving the embroidery a romantic rustic look.

Scissors: KAI Hand Embroidery / Goldwork Embroidery
KAI 4 inch hand embroidery scissors are the perfect all purpose hand embroidery scissors. They have sharp pointed blades and are light weight with comfortable molded handles.
The KAI scissors are made in Japan out of professionally honed stainless steel. I personally have a pair of these scissors that I have used for many years in lots of needlework techniques including cutting metal threads for goldwork and they have maintained their sharpness.
