APPLYING SOUTACHE BRAID

If the soutache braid is sewed oij, by hand every ether stitch should lie a back-stitch taken through the middle of the braid. A particularly attractive effect is gained if the braid is stitched on one edge so that it stands up straight. This may be done by hand by taking a short stitch on the right side and a long stitch on the back.
