LEVEL 1 - #10 “PLAIT STITCH" This stitch, with a rich history in traditional embroidery, creates a woven effect that mimics the look of a plaited braid, making it a popular choice for adding depth and dimension. It is also known as the Spanish Stitch and has been used successfully on both linen and canvas.  This is a stitch that looks like a braid as it is stitched.   It is found in many early American samplers and is a great filling or border stitch.  The Plait Stitch is created by interweaving threads in a specific pattern to form a braid-like design. This stitch can be worked on various types of fabric, including linen and can be adapted to different thread counts. The technique involves creating a series of closely spaced stitches that cross over and under each other, resulting in a textured, braided effect. In Victoria Sampler designs, the Plait Stitch is often featured in patterns such as the "Friendship Sampler" or "Renaissance Lace Sampler".  Design area: 42h x 42w (3.3” x 3.3”
