2nd Class

The second class took place on March 27.
We explored a finishing technique to secure last week's work, and sewed it up into a bag. We then set on a fresh warp. |

Warping
Here are the written instructions for warping your sprang frame.

Here is the diagram for tying that release-able knot, attaching the thread to the frame.

the Invisible Seam
Here are instructions for the obsessive-compulsive who need to create an invisible seam.

In class we talked about making slits to accommodate a drawstring.
There was a request for instructions on making a drawstring, using the same material as the warp.

A wide variety of stitches are possible with sprang. Some of them show up early in student work. We are trying for the structure at the left, but sometimes other structures appear ....
The desired structure looks like chain-link fence.

If you work subsequent follow-up (overplait) rows, then you get long holes and ropes.
|
If you work subsequent braiding (plait) rows, then you get a more dense structure called "under 3 interlinking"
