Thanks I will do just that.... Oh to be able to travel to such places and see such beautiful historical period things would be wonderful...

Then a book was published (which I reviewed on Arachne) containing instructions and lovely photographs. Go to your local library and ask for the Interlibrary Loan Service. Order the following book: "18th Century Embroidery Techniques" by Gail Marsh, ISBN 1-86108-476-5, Guild of Master Craftsman Publications Ltd., 2006. Pages 168-171 give 4 pages of pictures and instructions for Knotting. You may still be able to buy the book. Three years ago, I saw a bedspread of this couched knotting on a bed in a house museum in Bath, England. Period examples do exist!!! Go to _http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com/index.html) and enter in search box: 18th Century Embroidery Techniques - for the book review.
