Members Clintonville Leather Posted October 24, 2018 Members Report Posted October 24, 2018 Any tips would be appreciated I made the dead center hole 1/8" and enlarged the holes on either side. I get the pattern complete to the tip of the belt then get confused trying to reverse directions. Quote
Rockoboy Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 Pics of what you have done so far would be a great help.

I feel like I am missing something obvious. Quote
Rockoboy Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 Purely from the point of view of somebody who knows very little about braiding ... I would say you need to revisit the previous hole one more time (that's the hole with 3 laces already through there).

Expand Ok, I went back through that hole after I went around the turn but something was still off so I unlaced it. Quote
Rockoboy Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 I am guessing somebody who actually knows something will be along soon.

Expand You seem to have nailed it pretty well with the side you have done so far. Its just the turn that is causing you grief. It will come.

Members plinkercases Posted October 25, 2018 Members Report Posted October 25, 2018 check this thread from the forum...same question and good help. And as mentioned here Tandy has good braiding books electrically now. So do some other leather supply set ups. just google around. Book are always worth getting hard or soft format.

Expand Thank you I will check out that thread. My book just said 4 passes through the corner hole and three through the adjacent ones. But all the other holes only have two passes so I got confused.

Expand Nuts, the video in that thread is no longer working and the instructions arent making sense to me. I will ask a braider later this week. Quote
