Learn about the history, materials needed, and step by step process of blackwork embroidery, also known as double-running stitch or Holbein stitch, from the 16th century (Tudor and Elizabethan times). ❤️ SUBSCRIBE IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO AND WANT MORE❤️ Blackwork embroidery was made popular in Tudor England by King Henry VIII's first wife, Katherine of Aragon. Prior to Henry VIII's and Katherine's divorce, this embroidery had been commonly referred to as Spanish stitch (since Katherine was Spanish). After their divorce, the term blackwork was adopted for use to describe this particular type of embroidery (rather than the previously used term of Spanish stitch). Discover where to locate historical patterns, how to recreate these patterns, and watch step by step instructions on how create this lovely embroidery. Also follow along with a step by step tutorial on how to dress a slate frame to use for your embroidery. A slate frame is a historic type of embroidery frame that has been around for centuries. This specific type of embroidery frame keeps the tension on the fabric even without warping the fabric, like a hoop frame would. A slate frame is typically made from wood. It has two horizontal bars and two vertical bars (also known as stretcher bars). The stretcher bars have holes with pegs or notches to hold the horizontal bars in position, to keep the fabric taut. 0:00 | Introduction 0:43 | What is Blackwork 20:39 | Historic Patterns 47:06 | Drafting a Pattern 1:02:52 | Dressing a Slate Frame 1:14:41 | Other Materials 1:15:16 | Historic Thread Colors 1:22:08 | Step by Step Demonstration 1:27:46 | Historic Pattern Demonstrations 😀 I'd love your support as a patron to help keep this channel going! 😀 Suggested Items for Purchase: - Silk thread (Needle in a Haystack): or - Slate Frame (T.F.
