When I was doing my City & Guilds, we used braid and tape for narrow trails - tape for machine made, braid for hand made. Plaits are lengths of ct,ct,ct (half stitch repeated with the same two pairs). In English, we tend only to use braid for plait when referring to hair (3 strand plaits), and even then plait is the preferred term.
