Title: Braiding and basic questions.
Post by: Konrad on Apr 21, 2026, 08:23 PM
Can someone post a detailed process on braiding and what parameters you use to calculate the final motor length?

Also how are you chalking tissue?

TIA,

Konrad

Hi Konrad

Here's a link to a good YouTube video on braiding.

As for chalking tissue, that's an art of which I know little but this note from NFFS's website looks helpful

I think one point to take away is that we are talking about artists pastels (perhaps not blackboard chalk? But who knows)

Thank you! I always forget about the University of YouTube!
