CONT

Renaissance embroidery is cutwork that needs stabilizing bars worked within the cut-away designs. The edges are connected by buttonhole bars, worked over a single thread and is the same width throughout, except possibly on the edges. Satin stitch fillings were used in the design, then the openwork was done, cutting away unnecessary background fabric to give a much lighter appearance.
