Fine White Work Mountains Kit
The Fine White Work Mountains is an intermediate design.
The beautiful fine embroidery is created by stitching 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 just net creating a dimensional look to the embroidery. On the single layer of fabric pulled-work stitches are worked, in the net areas net stitches are worked.

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.

Tweezers – Fine Tipped
These very fine tip tweezers are excellent tools for a wide range of embroidery purposes and is the tool that I use the most for hand embroidery.
They make great unpicking tools to grab those tiny threads your finger nails just can’t keep a hold of.
They are also a vital tool for Goldwork embroidery to hold, position and to manipulate metal threads.
