mexican round braid / mexican basketweave braid

[anne newkold]

Has anyone used this where they went from a side (two thickness of leather) to turning a corner and it becoming a flat braid?

If I understand what you're saying, the leather is too thick? Or is the corner too sharp? Did you try skiving the edges? You could try cutting the corner with a larger radius.

This is if you want to maintain the round braid. I'm not sure how to transition cleanly from a round braid to a flat braid.

I am making a seat. I wanted to transition the mex round on the ends to the flat braid of it down the sides. I have been trying to figure out the transition from one to the other but can't seem to get it to look right. In theory I know what to do but it just isn't working. If I can't get it I will just do it as different braids butting into one another.
