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.

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!

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.
