Hi there! Glad to have this video recommended. I'm new to embroidery and love the look of blackwork. I tried my first project on evenweave but quickly switched to Aida fabric. Need to study your method closely to get confidence on where to start on this fabric!
🙏🏼 , thank you for the samples you did they were very helpful. I just retired and looking forward to learning different types of embroidery. I must say your videos are very well made. Can’t wait to see more . 😀
I ❤ your details on history and composition of different stitches and motifs. You are obviously quite skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise ❤
For silk thread, I get it from Needle in a Haystack. For linen, usually it's wherever I can find a good deal (sometimes from Fabrics-store.com). For needles and beeswax, these items can be found on Amazon (I believe I have links to those in the video description).
I think it depends on what the blackwork is being used for. If it's framed, then no one will ever see the backside. With me, I wear my embroidery on cuffs or a collar. So, both sides of my embroidery are visible, which is why I like to have my embroidery resembling that which was in Holbein's portraits.
Everyone starts from somewhere. I started with materials that I already had: a hoop frame, a needle, embroidery floss (from doing cross-stitch), and aida cloth. To upgrade to other materials (such as a slate frame or silk thread), that's a personal choice. In a pinch, I've done this embroidery without a frame at all. However, if you enjoy doing embroidery, I highly recommend trying out blackwork embroidery with whatever materials you have.

Hi! I also love the look of blackwork.
@Inherited Stitches We all start somewhere. 😀
Thank you for this great video. It’s fascinating to hear you talk about the history, and the significance of materials.
Thank you!

Hello! I’m just getting started. Do you have a link on your favorite spot to buy supplies?

Will this only be live or accessible later??
It will be accessible later.
I’ve done many Blackwork samplers, but never bothered with the intricacies of its being reversible. I just do the design and have it framed.

Too many new supplies . Very discouraging.
