Just found your blog, ...The Secret of a Flat Braid.<br />Just found your blog, Jerri and am so pleased to see you using my book and also doing your own thing with Kumihimo. The Silver threads in "Stunner" are double the thickness of the Black. I've done it in several different types of thread and it comes out flat. From your picture it looks like you've used different thicknesses of thread on each bobbin? But the braid itself looks fine. Are you holding the braid under the disk rather than holding the disk during braiding? That's the secret to a Flat Braid.<br />BethUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988064107302381667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631766498397484884.post-58308966855013524562011-04-06T04:48:19.448-07:002011-04-06T04:48:19.448-07:00Tnx! :) You mentioned curtain tie backs as well - ...Tnx! :) You mentioned curtain tie backs as well - i think that'd be great to make some of those! :)Naturally Me Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342135133796065516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631766498397484884.post-16468382777603537462011-04-05T17:32:37.678-07:002011-04-05T17:32:37.678-07:00Hey, they do look like funny contraptions don'...Hey, they do look like funny contraptions don't they?
