The first two freehand Elizabethan blackwork embroidery pattern fabrics are now live on Spoonflower and available for purchase print-on-demand.  Based on the responses I received regarding which patterns you were most interested in, the two fabrics I chose are the Floral Lattice and Scrolling Floral, both all-over patterns.  If they sell well enough to pay back the cost of the samples I will make other patterns available as well.  They are available as printed fabric, wrapping paper, and wallpaper.

I tried to balance the line width on the designs so that they are bold enough to be used as printed, but also thin enough that they can be embroidered and cover the lines with confidence.  I believe I have achieved that, as you can see from the sample of embroidery I have done on the scrolling floral fabric sample.  In the sample I used two strands of DMC cotton for the outline, blanket stitch for the vine and stem stitch for the flower outlines.  I used one strand of DMC cotton for the counted fill patterns.  The weave is tight enough on the fabric that I highly recommend using a magnifying glass if you want to use counted patterns for filling.  I crossed three threads of the fabric for each stitch.
