i mostly do crochet, but i am practicing bedford bobbin lace and needle lace patterns.
i think the stitches used for blackwork embroidery lace are types of running stitches, but i am sure there are more. they just follow a line drawing or a background drawing with a running stitch to outline it with the thread. it is just like tracing the pattern or background with a black pen, except you use thread to draw with. in another post from another member (i can't remember the name of who) they said if you do it correctly you will have the same design on the back, and the lace will be reversible. thank you for the website! i will check it out!
