The Fine White Work Pear is a beginner design. I no longer carry a kit for this design but you can provide your own supplies and purchase a hard copy of the instructions (9 pages) or download a PDF file of the instructions. How the Embroidery is Worked: The fine embroidery is created by stitching three layers of fabric (two layers of shadow linen with a layer of net sandwiched in-between) are sewn together with embroidery stitches. When all the embroidery has been worked layers of linen are cut away from the back or the front of the work. This will leave some areas with two layers of fabric, some with one layer of fabric and some with just net creating a dimensional look to the embroidery. On the single layer of fabric pulled-work stitches are worked, in the net areas net stitches are worked. The embroidery can be mounted on a coloured background which shows up the density of the fabric layers and the white embroidery threads.
