basketweave edges ?

Recommended Posts

OK so what order are you suppose to go in when you are basketweaving and need to do the edge all the way around.

I usually cut the boarder then bevel it then basketweave stamp the area then go along the boarder with a boarder stamp of my choice to finish it off. This doesnt allways give the correct results or looks as good as I wanted.

Is it better to not cut the boarder at all and just scribe a line? Should I bevel last?

I would cut the border, BW up to the border, then bevel, then camo/boarder stamp.

I always learn something new from you, Marlon! I hadn't been bevelling the border and it never looked right... Thanks!

Hello, I'm kinda new here but how I do it is scribe my border line, basket stamp up to it, take my modeling spoon and gently wipe out any places that I have went over the border with the BW tool, cut the border line, bevel, then run my border tool of choice around it. By doing it this way it kind of seems to set the basket weave in a little. I thought I would post a pic kind of the way I do it. Hope that helps.

I never thought about beveling the border before tooling around it. Jake and Marlon, thanks for the info! Now, I gotta go practice on some scrap pieces.
