Plaited Braid Stitch for metal thread - Jacobean hand embroidery

Here is another way to work this stitch, lets call it Version II. Its better suited in many respects to use with metallic thread, however, the previous version (see my other video) may be seen to produce flatter and possibly, prettier results. If you want to find out more about this stitch and the history behind it etc, please see the internet link mentioned at the end.

@TheOliviaOutcast

Yeah, well when ur in a rush and giving out help for fellow left handers (that end up helping a lot of right handers too) for FREE......la la-la la-la

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks - my next video is going to be about Celtic knots. There is a whole bunch of confusion out there about those little gems....

plus, future videos are going to be right-handed !

There is another way now of completing this stitch. It is slightly different in that it works up narrower and possibly more curved. In terms of interlacing 'over & unders' it is exactly the same but in terms of execution, I find it to be a lot 'smoother'. If you want further details, google: Jacqui Carey's book 'Sweet Bags', published in 2009.

Umm,...sorry, but what exactly is happening at 2:13?.......it's obviously a thread from your fabric coming out of place.....but your reaction........it's like you never had that happen before........

@todtubetod tut tut - how about if I tell you I like my videos to be done in one take ?? I dont have, like, 3 months to spend faffing about on the proverbial cutting room floor.

N-E-way, thanks for watching and feedback blah

@ketchupwitheverythin Hi! I'm amazed with your everything, voice, timing, and clearness of the shots, but I have a question... I want to do this in a rectangular piece, and I'm lost at the corner... Is it possible to do it? how?
