Sarah, you're right! I tried the process with embroidery thread, and it looks a lot more like it's done correctly. So that would mean the more pliable the material is, the better the results. Now I can feel better that my lanyard isn't looking so good. [img]wink.gif[/img] I think the kind I'm using is more the old-fashioned kind...no stretch to it at all. It reminds me of the kind that came with Molly's lanyard kit, which I remember being really stiff. Hopefully it will work better for the box stitch...it's not the best for rope braiding.

I hope you have a great time with the gimping! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
