Drawn Thread Work and Hardanger

Remove some threads from the fabric and embroider around the remaining threads of the fabric to obtain openwork patterns. This technique was invented in Italy and developed in Europe in the sixteenth century. It has been combined with traditional embroidery from each region. Several variations have resulted, such as Casalguidi from Tuscany, Hedebo from Denmark and Hardanger from Norway, etc.

Stumpwork Three Dimensional Embroidery

The origin of the stumpwork is not clearly known, but it is believed it was invented in England in the seventeenth century. Fashionable between 1650 and 1680, this technique was then called “raised work” or “padded work”. The most commonly represented motifs were people, flowers, insects and animals, which adorned the frames of mirrors, boxes, book covers or needle holders. A wide variety of patterns was achieved by combining various traditional and raised stitches.
