I recently embroidered a long band border with traditional Schwalm motifs.
Because I believe that such a project will be of great interest, I would like to share it with you. Here comes the design first. In later blog posts I will walk you through the entire project.
This outline design can be used very flexibly.
It actually consists of 5 separate sections of different heights, which can be placed on top of each other as required or separated into many smaller sections – this creates more than 20 different outline patterns. They can be used as individual patterns or combined as desired.
You can place all the sections together in the order of the printed sheets and at their full length, or you can shorten the band pattern section by section to achieve the desired length.
You can also combine the sections in a different order or mirror them.
The template sheets offer unimagined possibilities – give it a try!
The original design was based on a 16 cm wide band.
I gave up my initial plan to embroider on industrially woven striped linen. Therefore it was also possible to make the band wider than 16 cm. The patterns were expanded to 18 cm wide. This made my embroidery 165 cm long.
So that you too can embroider a project with these outline patterns, I offer them for purchase. The document contains 35 reduced size design suggestions on three pages, and then the 5 original size design sections – both 16cm and 18cm wide.

In the print version, the line drawings are printed on high-quality tracing paper. This makes putting the sections together very easy.

Hallo und guten Tag
ich liebe diese Schwaelmer Stickerei,habe einen Kurs mitgemacht das meiste wieder vergessen,würde gerne weiter sticken wenn es Kurse geben würde.ich heisse Erna komme aus Rauschenberg und bin 63 Jahre alt.
mit freundlichen Grüßen Erna Roemershaeuser
Danke, Frau Roemershausen,
es werden derzeit schon Kurse angeboten, nur muss man dazu oft lange Wege zurücklegen. Aber vielleicht ergibt sich durch den Wissensaustausch über diese Kommentare eine Möglichkeit für Sie, die mir bisher nicht bekannt ist. Es sollte möglich sein, so in der Nähe von Marburg einen Kurs zu finden oder aufzubauen.
Gern bin ich bereit, zukünftige Kursleiter zu schulen.
Ihre E-Mail-Adresse ist notiert, Sie erhalten Nachricht von mir, sobald ich ein passendes Angebot für Sie habe.
This is absolutely a masterpiece of embroidery! Your embroidery and dedication to Schwalm Whitework is impressive and inspirational. And your sharing of step-by-step instructions to your blog readers is very generous. You are truly keeping Schwalm Whitework alive!
