Hi, really hoping for some advice please.I've started a bracelet and made the loop to do a tear drop start, and have added an extra string so I can use the straight edge method. As I'm bringing in the stings, how do I bring in the extra string I added so it is hidden? |

You keep one string all the way on the left and one string all the way on the right. Make sure to not make knots with it but to knot onto it with the other strings. This way it stays hidden. Do you make the shaped start after the loop like this \/ or like this /\/\? |

Thanks so much.After the loop, I start it like this \/. So I completely leave out the extra strings to the left and right. Great, will give it a go. Do you happen to know of any videos/tutorials that may help further? Many thanks |

No, you don't leave the straight edge strings out completely. You just keep them all the way on the left and the right.The first knot you make to start shaping the V, should be made with one of the other strings on all the other strings at once (including the straight-edge string). |
