介绍（中）	白制品采样器通常由各种缝线和蕾丝制作技术组成，所有这些都是用白线缝合的。基于少数记录在案的17世纪刺绣师制作了多个采样器，人们认为，包含白描、镂空、拉花和蕾丝设计的采样器只有在多色带采样器完成后才能缝合，因为白描技术更难。虽然许多幸存的英国样品包括蕾丝、镂空和抽花，但很少有17世纪的蕾丝被认为是英国制造的这款采样器适用于白织物和网纹织物，这需要缝纫机从织物上去除经线和纬线，然后用扣眼缝线稳定织物，并根据亚麻布的网格进行设计。采样器的顶部采用缎面、眼线和线缝，其特征是首字母"MD"（可能是制造商的首字母）和字母表，以及不同长度的几何和风格化花卉图案。采样器的其余部分由填充有几何图案的标线花边的切口组成。
介绍（英）	Whitework samplers typically consist of a variety of stitches and lace-making techniques, all stitched in white thread. Based on the small number of documented seventeenth-century embroiderers who made multiple samplers, it is thought that samplers containing whitework, cutwork, drawnwork, and lace designs were stitched only after multi-colored band samplers were finished, as whitework techniques are more difficult. While many surviving English samplers include lace, cutwork, and drawnwork, few examples of seventeenth-century lace have been attributed to English manufacture. This sampler is worked in whitework and reticella, which requires a stitcher to remove warp and weft threads from a piece of fabric before stabilizing the fabric with buttonhole stitches and creating designs based on the grid of the linen. The top of the sampler, worked in satin, eye, and line stitches, features the initials "MD" (presumably the initials of the maker) and an alphabet, along with geometric and stylized floral patterns of varying length. The remainder of the sampler consists of cutwork filled with reticella lace in geometric patterns.
