How to Embroider Bayeux Stitch / Laid and Couch

Thanks for this! Question: Do we have any other examples of this stitch being used in the middle ages, or is it only known in the Bayeux Tapestry?

Thanks for this, it's so useful to be able to see the front and back being worked at once!

My first attempt using some wool and pattern from Bayeux itself was nothing like this think I may another go good job I bought 4 different kits

this is exactly what my pattern called for and your tutorial is great! Now i can finish my project in confidence. Thank you.

Very helpful tutorial.

I went to see the British copy of the tapestry in Reading museum and I was interested in how it was stitched, especially the filled in horses etc. this video is so clear and useful and has helped me understand how the stitching is done. Thank you

I have a copy of the Bayeux Broderie booklet that describes the length of the stitches as being 'no further than 4 to 5 cm' but there is no indication of how wide the work should be. Can you help please? Alan

Dommage que la vidéo soit de mauvaise qualité, on ne voit pas grand chose

Ma'am, can you please tell me how long the stitch can be.

Thank you for taking the time to teach this stitch.

A front AND back view? And history? I have to subscribe! I know you said there’s a variety of ways for finishing thread on the tapisserie de Bayeux, was it the same for starting? Did they use knots?

What a great video.
I'm going to try this technique to stitch an image of friends that I do Living History with, sort of as a family foto. Hope all goes well.

Now, one question: is it better to do the outlines before or after the laid/couch work?

Such a good idea to show the back and the front at the same time.
