Edging

Is it better to use a 6-1 edging than a 4-1. I use a 2mm pricking iron and a 3mm wide lace

Welcome to the forum from SW Missouri, USA.  I am not really sure to what you are referring.  Please expand your question.

Ok here goes. I’m trying to leather lace the edge of an arrow quiver. I’ve seen some quivers that have been sewn together not to my liking. As for the 4-1 ratio the first hole is one where you start the lace you count 4 holes I put the lace through on the opposite side. I then go back to hole 2 and so on. I know I might be telling my grandmother how to suck eggs and I apologize. Does this make sense

There are a few different braiding techniques so it would depend on how you want the finished product to look. There are round braids, double loop, diamond, Mexican, on and on.

Are you butting the two pieces together or are you laying them back to back and lacing over the seam?
