To Oltoot: I sent an email and also PM to you but your email won't go through. Could you post the pictures for the seat strainer thread you mentioned? There are many older tutorials on this site that no longer have any pictures included (such as the leather ground seat tutorial) so the tutorials are no help to new learners like me. I know that posting the pictures takes time and effort on your part and thank you for your help and contributions. Deb Williams

I find that both ends twist in opposite directions when I am tightening the turnbacks. Maybe I will try stick pins to hold it in place until done. Thank you. Deb Williams

Thank you to all of you for the input. I am using lines as guides, but it has not helped with the "wrap method." I will try braiding first as you have suggested. Deb Williams

I am trying to learn the multi-string button-type braids in Grant's Encyclopedia where the strings are first wrapped, then interwoven. (Herringbone weave.) When I am finished, the braid lines twist around the core. How do you keep the lines straight?? (My attempt to post a picture of the crooked lines failed, so I hope my description of the problem is clear.) Thank you. debwilliams
