Robin, Does she have German? How about: Mit Nadel und Faden: Kulturgeschichte der klassischen Handarbeiten by Marianne Stradal ISBN-13: 978-3451216084
My German is quite rusty so I'll admit that I bought this for the pictures. It seemed to have many outside the usual survey stuff. Library catalogs say that this has bibliographic references. It might be good for trianglulating definitions.
