Soutache is a narrow, flat braid in a herringbone pattern and is great for passementerie projects--create tassels, fringe, military braid and other textile embellishments. The BeadSmith Polyester Soutache was designed with tremendous attention to consistency of width, thickness and drape and can be successfully combined with rayon braid. Soutache and Bead Embroidery utilizes the soutache differently in that rather than being laid flat and sewn into curving shapes onto another surface, it is stacked in multiple layers and stitched so that the edges of the soutache are what is seen... like looking at a sandwich from the side. The layers are stitched together, often around beads, cabochons and other embellishments, to create intricate patterns and shapes.
The BeadSmith's soutache cord line was designed by a textile jewellery artist for textile jewellery artists with tremendous attention to consistency of width, thickness and drape so that rayon and polyester braid can be successfully combined. Polyester soutache is available in bright colours, and its sheen is slightly duller than that of the rayon. Rayon soutache is a semi-natural fiber – essentially re-processed cotton. It has more sheen and the colors are available in a more muted palette. Textured metallic soutache is a metallized polyester film with a nylon support.
