The back story
If a search engine has landed you on this page I am in the process of documenting a hand embroidered band sampler, band by band, which worked over a number years and now measures over 44 feet long. All bands are hand embroidered and for the history of the piece read my introductory post about it
If you are thinking of working a sampler I have answered a few questions about width and fabric choice.
