Cupped or Flat????

I really don't want to interfere too much, but I thought I would step in and answer this question. Should your motif be cupped or flat? The answer is flat. There are two reasons your motif would cup, one is that the picots are not the correct length (they should measure 1/4"), if the picots are too long you will get a 3D effect, the other reason is tension is too tight on the outer chains.

  2. I was thinking my chains must be too tight. I will have to start over I think. Thanks for letting us know Sherry.

  3. Thanks for clarifying! I pulled on the picots along the sides of the hexagon to stretch them, and now it lies much flatter.
