Round Braid English Point

Recommended Posts

Any tips would be appreciated :unsure: 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.

Pics of what you have done so far would be a great help.

I keep moving forward, having it not look right then unlacing it.  I feel like I am missing something obvious.

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).

Ok, I went back through that hole after I went around the turn but something was still off so I unlaced it.

I am guessing somebody who actually knows something will be along soon.

my brain doesnt do well with braiding.

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.

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.

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.

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.
