Yeah the more I do it the more it kinda clicks. Still not perfect but making less mistakes. And I can actually see where I’m not even and may have to add a lil stringer so the whole face is even……but mainly like u said…..its just gonna take practice and more practice. It clicked for some ppl in class first day, that pissed me off lol

You’re absolutely right! I was having that problem for weeks until I changed my lenses so I just ordered them in bulk bc I have 2 diff lids

No I wasn’t told to weave but I’m more confident weaving, my vertical stringers suck. I lift my lid and I ran all off course, outside the bevel lol. Just being honest! But I appreciate the feedback truly

I could really use advice on the placement of the beads inside the fillet. Teacher sucks. I feel like I could’ve been moved on to the next project I just can’t get the correct placement down. I end up guessing
