For years, I searched for good knotting instructions. Then a book was published (which I reviewed on Arachne) containing instructions and lovely photographs. Go to your local library and ask for the Interlibrary Loan Service. Order the following book: "18th Century Embroidery Techniques" by Gail Marsh, ISBN 1-86108-476-5, Guild of Master Craftsman Publications Ltd., 2006. Pages 168-171 give 4 pages of pictures and instructions for Knotting. You may still be able to buy the book. Three years ago, I saw a bedspread of this couched knotting on a bed in a house museum in Bath, England. Period examples do exist!!!
