I wasn't sure if it was this list that was discussin lacing holes, or the garb list, so I'll send to both. TEXTILES AND CLOTHING 1150-1450 put out by Musium of London in 1992 on p. 164 has extent textiles from the 14th century showing lacing holes done with a buttonhole stitch with the bead in the hole. The did a wide spaced stitch around it, then filled it in with close spaced stitches.
