My understanding is that the terms are used differently in the U.S. and in Britain. U.S. Britain Braid plait Tape braid (for a narrow woven band, machine made or hand made)
When I write about things that Include those elements I have taken to using the phrases braid/plait and tape/braid in an attempt at clarity.
