[Nfb-krafters-korner] stretch bracelet help needed

[Neva Fairchild]

I have used an overhand knot in the past so that the pressure pulling from
the two sides serves to tighten the knot, not loosen it. I haven't finished
my new bracelet to try the granny knots yet.

Hi Charlotte and all,

 

Thanks so much for the class Charlotte,

 

I have my bracelet made but... It won't stay knotted. I tried knotting it
four times you suggested, then tried knotting it in four different ways, but
the stretch cord is so slippery that the knots just come right out!  ugg!
Any particular knot you find that you use that does not immediately untie
itself?  I may have to resort to that glue suggestion, but I don't like
glue, so hope I don't have to resort to that.

 

I have enough beads to make several more bracelets once I have this knotty
problem resolved.

 

Thanks, Cathy
