[HNW] Jacobean crewel work stitch guide

[Velvet Claw]

Hi,

Back again, but this time it's a question for myself.

I want to do a Jacobean crewel project eventually.

I don't know a lot of surface embroidery stitches, except for the 
Elizabethan ones. The Jacobeans used a much bigger range, and different 
stitches in their crewel work.

I look at the black and white diagrams, and not a clue comes to my mind 
as to what stitches to use. I'll look at lots of extant examples, of 
course, but I was wondering if there was a good book out there that had 
historic Jacobean patterns that also described the stitches to use as 
well as patterns. Part of the problem with looking at extant examples is 
that I need close ups to tell which stitches were used, then flipping 
through a stitch guide to match the stitch.

best regards,

and thankyou for all the help you've given my friend Constance with the 
Bayeaux Tapestry,
