Why are you reporting this puzzle?

Circa 1066 AD - embroidered English history
Scenes 29-31 of Harold's Coronation which started the whole thing.
Whoever embroidered all those panels, nuns or "professionals", it was needleworkers, so, who actually manufactured yarns & dyes & needles? Drew templates telling the story of a momentous era? Likely the all-male Guilds, Who had the temperament & skill to actually do the sewing? Anonymous Women, of course!
Spent hours during sewing classes as a school girl, embroidering handkerchief & serviette/
napkin edges to graduate to samplers,
Who embroiders all those marvelous vestments for the clergy? Machines run by Chinese girls?

Great puzzle, thank you.
I've heard it was english women who sewed this, as they were the best at that time. If true one wonders how they felt about it.

Interesting Bayeux Tapestry background especially re:women :-) Interesting puzzle, too - enjoyed - thankful it "lined up" or I would have taken even more time - thanks

I saw this Tapestry some years ago and marvelled over it. It is soooooo long and tells so many stories!
Aren't there (in the Roman Catholic church) still nuns embroiding and sewing the vestments for the clergy and the church??
