Members David Fields Posted August 2, 2009 Members Report Posted August 2, 2009 It looks darn good to me. The only thing I noticed was the alignment was a bit off in a few places, but I'm just nitpicking. Over all it looks good. Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted August 2, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted August 2, 2009 hey David thats looks good...........But when whether it is practice or not be guided on the layout lines. then he should have shown you how to do it. Quote Luke

Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 2, 2009 Moderator Report Posted August 2, 2009 David, There are a few who will get each point to come out exactly. Almost everyone will have some points that don't quite meet. A trick for fixing that - Get a flat bladed screwdriver the thickness of the stamp leg. Use it like a stamp to extend the line of the legs and make them meet at an exact point on the line. For a first time you made the centers line up very well in a hard basket pattern to do that on. Good job.

Members resqman Posted August 5, 2009 Members Report Posted August 5, 2009 Typically basketweave stops before the edge of the leather and a border tool is used. You ran the basketweave off the edge. Check out rdb's belt tutorial for an example of arrowhead basketweave Quote
