If you've got examples, then your already one step ahead of me!
Seriously, I don't think embroidery is rocket-science, just really tedious. Nor do I think, however, that it's something that can be taught (well) via email/internet. I would suggest seeking out somebody who's obviously very accomplished in the field and getting them to show you the basics. The rest I think you can figure out on your own.
For my money, you can't beat Raymond the Quiet for reasonably priced, accurately cast pieces. His Roman bits can be found at:

These are all in the $10-$30 range.
