BRODERIE RENAISSANCE [3 records]

Record 1 2007-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Needle Embroidery
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.

Venetian embroidery uses cut work and richelieu bars, an intricate type of lace-making.

Venetian embroidery is thickly padded buttonhole stitching. The high relief of the outlines is what makes this stand out. Plenty of surface embroidery is included in Venetian designs and open areas with lots of lace stitches.
