Hi Wendy,
Most of the ms showing tents in the Medieval period that I have come
across don't go into the detail of showing how the grommets were
done.
Some of the German wood cuts from the 16th century may show
some detail.
I will have to check my collection of pictures and get back to you.
> Any documentation on grommets in medieval tents?
> Did they use the "ring & whipstitch" method (I tried it - not as easy as it
> sounds!), or the "pound together" method we use mundanely?
Bye for now,
