What a great idea to carry threads over (where possible) instead of cutting
of and sewing in!
I have a general Celtic knot source book, with black on white outlines.
This way you can use the patterns for all kinds of crafts: embroidery, bead
work, leather work ...etc.
and of course lace.

If the braids are fairly narrow, could you carry the threads for the
second braid across the back of the first? (sew them into the pinholes
either side of the braid, of course)
Will only work if the braids are fairly solid, otherwise the threads
behind will show through the finished piece; it would probably be ok for
wider braids so long as the threads are tied at all the sewings (to
prevent distortion if the loops catch on something when the lace is taken
off the pillow) and the piece will be mounted to hide & protect the back
of the work.
