I used Modern Folk Embroidery's Open Hem tutorial - I purchased a booklet copy from the Attic but you can also get a PDF: https://www.modernfolkembroidery.com/product/open-hem-tutorial-pdf/
And I used Londonderry Linen, 100/3 weight for the hemstitching - it's the historically accurate choice for hemstitching, but also looks wonderful.

The Elizabethan Valentine class is presently open for registration: katie-strachan.com/shop
Full details on the class can be found here: https://katie-strachan.com/elizabethan-valentine
It is a 5 month, online class which began September 1, 2024, although it is strictly work at your own pace.  The kit includes full spools of threads in filament silks and real silver thread, in an authentic 17th century palette, as well as everything you need to make the Elizabethan Valentine, with the exception of a frame to work it in.  The options for a frame, as well as lacing your fabric and stitching with a frame will be fully covered in the course.
