Macrame Tips
- • Always buy 10-20% more cord than calculated
- • Outer/filler cords use less length than knotting cords
- • When folding in half, your mounted length is half the cut length
- • Test your knot density with a sample before cutting all cords
- • Thicker cord requires different multipliers - start with 3x
