Metal thread embroidery by Jane Lemon
Batsford (March 28, 2005)
ISBN 071348926X
It covers historical and modern stitches, thread,
techniques,equipment,photoes of extant pieces including Elisabethan and

the only one I've found truly useful for historical goldwork anytime
within my period of interest(1200-1670).
Some websites worth looking at ;
Or Nue

Or Nue (Shaded Gold)
http://www.advancenet.net/jscole/ornue.html
And a brief introduction to historical goldwork;
