You can find the technique documented as well as diagrammed in Jacqui Carey's "Chinese Braid Embroidery." It is a very common way to braid, and can be found elsewhere. I like Jacqui's diagrams the best. I think the the lynch pin to having this work with bobbin lace is to use the open method, thus the TC rather than CT.
