willthewisest 5/9/2021 11:29 pm 527

so, i bought this new string because i heard it's better for making bigger projects. it's like regular clear string except it has that elastic/fabric stuff around it and it's thicker?? does that make sense? anyway, whenever i try to make cuffs with it, it always like,,flips over? like one half of the cuff will be upside down, if that makes sense. i've tried 3 different times now and it always seems to happen,, i'm not sure what's wrong 2.gif i do just fine with the regular clear string, so i think it's an issue w this string. i always cant follow the pattern because i always mess up (regular multistitch cuff)

has anyone else had this problem?

it might not be related to the string itself, but rather how tight youre pulling it? i have this problem too when making multistitch cuffs, and the easiest way to fix it is to put the cuff around something (water bottle, soda can, etc.) while building to ensure that it stays upright :-)
