The thing with JE is not so much the stitches but handling the silk and there is no substitute for having someone guide you through that. Have you looked at the list of tutors on the JEC. If there is one in your area perhaps they would be willing to travel to you.

Have you heard of Helen M Stevens, who does lovely silk embroidery, but not Japanese, more needle painting. Helen does online classes, including a free taster class, on her website.
