Response: Hello Chere, thank you so much. Yes, definitely Blackwork is totally different than redwork.Redwork is generally a running stitch or a stem stitch worked throughout the design where in blackwork or as my friend calls it "spanysshwork" there are a multitude of stitches which make up the various design elements therefore giving the embroidery more texture and definition. Hugs, Sadia Lovely work and a really good explanation of blackwork which is often confused with what we traditionally think of as redwork.
