Voided work, more commonly referred to these days as Assisi work (following a resurgence of interest in the style spurred on by its appearance in Assisi-area shops in the 20th century), features an embroidered background, with the main design left unstitched.

This style of embroidery is monochromatic, and usually involves some form of linear stitch (generally backstitch) and a cross stitch (sometimes long-armed cross stitch or Italian cross stitch). Unless otherwise referenced, all examples below are from Italy, and are done in silk thread on linen cloth.
