Posted - Jan 22 2011 : 5:56:26 PMThere is an article on how to make loops in soutache braid from a Threads mag/newsletter https://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/10558/how-to-make-loops-in-soutache-braid It was a common embellishment on Victorian and Edwardian jackets and skirts. You might try looking it up in a vintage needlework book.
