    Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Very well done, perfectly explained. One question: over time, do you find a bug problem with the cornstarch mixture?

    Very good demonstration but for beginners, it would be extremely helpful to at least list information about how to figure how long the lengths of cord should be to reach a certain length of finished macramé rope. I’m sure there’s some kind of formula for that. Do you cut your lengths six times longer than you want the product to be or 12 times longer or 24 times longer? Don’t know how to figure that. Can someone please help?
