Alison I don't have a video link for you but I do have diagrams on my website that show what to do. http://lynxlace.com/learningbobbinlace-basics.html#sewings In this next one, about half way down begins another description of sewings. And about 90% down the file is a description of false plaits. These are explained in sequential diagrams. http://lynxlace.com/learningbobbinlace-tapelacemat.html
You describe difficulties manipulating the crochet hook. The issue may be the size of the hook. It has to be large enough to grab the whole thread, without piercing the thread. But it needs to be small enough to get it through the loop or hole where the sewing will be made.
