The whitework sect of embroidery is full of variants. I'm partial to Hardanger, but you've got all sorts like broderie anglaise and Mountmellick which are very different and beautiful.

Are you including sewing stitches or just embroidery stitches?

This is one I was going to suggest earlier but my phone stoutly refused to let me type it!
I also wanted to suggest crewelwork, stumpwork, silk shading and goldwork if they haven't already been mentioned.

I got a new pattern for a plastic canvas project and it had:
Overcast stitch (internet says is for finishing the edges of plastic canvas)

How about Assisi embroidery, and if you're doing blackwork perhaps a nod to whitework and redwork?

ah but of course!

Thanks for the input!

I'm sure I'll soon find out just how many whitework variants there are!

Well pointed out, yes I'm including all sewing types and stitches, I have remedied the thread title

Still compiling the list, and checking out the blog sites that are on offer

Keep those suggestions coming! No matter how obvious or peculiar!

Will update the first post some time this weekend with all the suggestions so far.

If you're including sewing stitches, I'd add:

Cross hatch
Running stitch
Slip stitch
Hem stitch
Whip stitch

I feel like there are others, but my sampler isn't with me so I can't check what else they like you to put on it.
