I've got the smaller Pictorial History of Embroidery, 1969, US edition by Marie Schuette and Sigrid Mueller-Christianson Frederick A. Praeger, Publisher. It is all in English. Multnomah County Library puts it this way:

New York, Praeger [1964, c1963]xxiv, 336 p. 484 illus., 29 col. plates. 30 cm. R- 746.44 S38p The BIG two volume edition lives in the depths of the Multnomah County Library, and was a gift when it came out in about 1929 and is named this: Gestickte Bildteppiche und Decken des Mittelalters / herausgegeben von Marie Schuette. Schuette, Marie, 1878-1960. Leipzig, K. W. Hiersemann, 1927-v. double plates (part col.) 51 cm. R- 746.3 S38 Yes, they are in German, but who cares?
