A dear friend just received notification that she passed the last step on her journey to Master Craftsman, counted work. Now, she's looking to learn other forms of embroidery and has signed up for a class whose description says that it will use casalguidi techniques (or words to that effect).
Other than being named after a place in Italy, it seems that casalguidi embroidery might be considered a form of stumpwork in that it uses 3 dimensional stitches and techniques. How far off the mark is that assumption? Is it typically worked on a pulled thread ground?
