well... if you look at a book on lacing they suggest the lacing holes be spaced according to the width of the lace.

so if you are using 3/16" lace the hole should be around 3/16" from the edge and spaced with a 3/16" gap between the holes. i go further apart than that but prefer to keep them tight enough that the lace is a nice tight braid. to me there is too much time and effort in basket weave to not have it tight. you are also using a lot more lace to put the holes so far from the edge.

attached is a closeup of some basket weave i did. this is also 3/16" lace.

Thank you Roger, that is some good info. I never know how to space the dang things and just wing it the best I can. I like how tight that lace looks. I'm going for the X pattern look only using the basket weave. I wanted some space between the lace. That is one killer seat! I really like that shaider too. Is that from Hide Crafter? Matt
