In their earliest form, samplers were put together as personal reference works for embroiderers. They were trials of patterns and stitches that had been copied from others, and records of particular effects achieved that could be recreated again. This is a type known as a band sampler, and it combines blackwork embroidery with pulled thread work. With the composition of band samplers comes the first clear indication in England of the form being used as a method of instruction and practice for girls learning needlework. Sampler of linen embroidered with silk and linen in double running and long-armed cross stitch, with pulled thread work. Cut from a piece of tightly-woven linen, the bottom edge formed by the selvedge and the other edges turned and hemmed. The top seven inches (17.5 cms) are embroidered with black silk in long-armed cross and double running stitches. Eight different border patterns, varying in depth from 0.5 to 2 inches (1 to 5 cms), are based on an angular 'coiling' stem with stiff fruit and flowers. The patterns are arranged in two incomplete columns. In the empty space below the left-hand column is a simple wavy line motif worked with white linen thread in double running stitch, and a motif, possibly a letter B, worked with beige silk in double running stitch. The remaining 11.25 inches (28.5 cms) of the sampler is divided into twelve bands of drawn-thread work, varying in depth from 0.5 inch to 1.25 inches (1 to 3 cms). The narrower bands are decorated with simple needle-woven patterns. The four wider bands are divided into small squares by over-cast bars, filled with interlace stitches to form geometric patterns. Linen sampler embroidered with silk and linen, England, mid 17th century.
