Jacobean Double Plaited Braid Stitch - Hand Embroidery instructional video. Although I am a left-handed stitcher, you can see from this video the important stages in the construction of the stitch, crucially how to begin the stitch, how to look for the 'cross shape of the previous half of the stitch and how to keep the working thread out of the way while you locate the two lower 'feet' of the previous stitch to keep the woven surface structure of this classic design, in what appears to be 2 adjascent rows of 'purl stitches'. I've been promising on my blog to upload this film for ages. Hope its clear, you like it and its not too long.. Comments welcome. Remember, its actually a fast stitch to work and interesting plus it works well round curves. You can see examples of it produced in gold thread at the V&A Museum in London on Elizabethan sweetbags. It was a very popular stitch then. NB Sorry about my little slip of the tongue right at the beginning....lol (you couldn't plan a better Fraudian slip, could you?). Happy stitching !! I'll be posting more embroidery videos - only difficult stitches though... (if you're interested, the other example of hand stitching on my hoop here is 'Trellis' stitch, hope to do a video of that one soon).
