That's very interesting. I have been working on one for about the past two yrs. & I wish I had read this before I started. Lately I have been worried about the bunching. The way I learned to do this was, my SL sent me samples by snail mail. So that didn't really tell me to much. Thankyou for the good info. Sure would like to try another one. Greeter Eva
