Blackwork For Machine Embroidery

[Cilean]

Hello Everyone,

Many people have asked about different Designs we could use for the Renaissance Era, so I was looking about and I found these!  Best thing they are Free!

Threadworks which worked with the Blackwork archives, I have made several of these when I am making Smocks and Shirts to do cuffs and necklines.

Wow. Lovely blackwork. Way beyond any skill or machinery I own but I just love to look.

Also, if anyone is interested, Lady Maerwynn on the board here has created several CDs for sale that have fabulous blackwork patterns that are already digitized and ready for most embroidery machines.  You can contact her via PM to get information on how to order.  My wife has a shirt with her pattern on it and I have a set of sleeves and they are fantastic and work very well.

Heck??!! Do we have someone holding out on us? Several threads regarding Blackwork for Machines in the past, that is why I was so happy to stumble upon this site!!

Lady Maerwynn??  Could you be persuaded to put forth your CDs by showing us what you do? I am always in the market for blackwork and other Elizabethan Designs.

Cilean, I do indeed have blackwork CDs but my website is under construction for about another week or so.  I offer two CDS at this time with two more to be completed by the end of the year.  I also offer single patterns and custom designs.
