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
Cut it twice and it was still too short!

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)

All the best

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