FINE
WHITE WORK PEAR AND MAGNOLIA (KWF4)
The Pear
and Magnolia is a beginner Fine White work technique.
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).
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.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free
on going critique.

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).
(TSSF&TT) 11 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).
