I LOVE making korkers!! They were the first bow I really fell in love with making. I did fall out of love with them for awhile because I kept breaking needles!!! I have finally found some needles that I like (and seem to hold up pretty well!!), so the love affair is back on! I tried starching them on the dowel, but then when I used my woodburner, the ends scorched. So now I twirl, bake, cut, sew, and then spray with starch and hang upside down to dry (I scorched too many korkers by baking them after starching them). I LOVE seeing all of the pictures! |

![]() Yes I do. I hold the long threaded needle upside down and then attach each korker individually in that pattern that you posted. Once I am done stacking them like that I twist and shift a little to find a center to wrap the thread and secure it. |

Ronnie thats how I used to do mine too.. I'd wrap the thread around after sweing them BUT I stopped doing it. not sure if i like it better or not now but it is easier. I sew threw the center like 4-6 times to make sure its good and secure. and then when i assemble the korker on the clip i use a few pieces to pull under and then glue the ribbon for lining the clip over it.. make sense? i bet not. lol and I'm going to have to try that way again, but when i do its a jumbled mess really. and I forgot who asked but I cut mine between 2 and 2.5 inches for that sized one I showed, I couldnt give an exact measurement as I go by loops.
