Course Description: This is a follow-on course to the Beginners Braids and the Milanese Flame courses.

You will then finish at a point and roll back with a Withof roll, learning how to work a tapered roll in order to use pairs in the next section. You will then work a different braid, learning how to manage curves using blind pins. You will also learn the difference between top/bar and side/edge sewings and work a ten stick/rib too.
