Wow I didn't even think of doing it this way before (not that I've tried yet!) But I'll definitely try this 'safety net' tufting first. When you think logically, it's a no-brainer for sure! Thanks Kevin, your info is gold as always 🪙

Great video, I like your technique of just putting the tuffs and pleats with a single twine. I need to try this.
Thanks.

Very helpful! I see some just go straight to do the button. Is is better this way first then putting in the button?
