Soutache Cords

This flat braid displays a herringbone pattern and can be used in bead embroidery and textile projects. Soutache is usually added to projects by stacking it in multiple layers and stitching those layers together, often around a bead or cabochon. The edges of the braid are the parts seen in the design. This braid has a consistency of width, thickness and drape making it a tighter, finer braid that will pull nicely around beads.
