I have just received the most wonderful book from Amazon. "18th
Century Embroidery Techniques" by Gail Marsh, (ISBN 1 86108 476 5)

Suzi, after you've had a look at it, could you tell us how much of
the book is devoted to early 18th century work, or if it is all
examples from the latter half of the century?
At a very rough count there are 25+ examples of various techniques
used on garments from 1700 to "mid 18th" and a few from 1750-70, and
the rest are later. There is even knotting shown in use on an apron
of c.1725! (And diagrams of how to..)
All the examples are in museums and collections here in G.B. (in fact
I think in England.)
Hope that helps. (Oh and the more I look the more I want to do.)
