I am just learning to cut lace and braid. Something I have run into is lace width to thickness. Obviously there is a correlation other wise the fine braiding would look stupid if it were 5-6 oz. It’s difficult for me to figure out the right thickness for what ever project I am braiding.
Another problem I am having is beveling. I have Bruce Grants book on fine braiding and watched many YouTube videos. I just can not for the life of me get a proper bevel on my lace. I guess that’s where the thickness comes into play. I’ve been using 2-3oz veg tan to make lace. I will keep trying till I get it right or what I think looks good. Hopefully someone can chime in to offer some tips. Is anyone in North Georgia that braids, I’d like to visit and learn if possible.
