Hi! I'm a newcomer to this tribe and to Tribes. I am a blackworkaholic, but dabble in other needlearts as well; hoping to share ideas and inspiration for new things.

Re: Newcomer
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 10:05 PMit's a monochrome embroidery technique, very popular in the 16th century - it can be as simple as all backstitch, or very very complicated, but the effect is of colored lace on a white background. Hope that helps a bit!
