I have not tried this kind of stitching, but I have done lacing, with the use of 550 cord. But for center stitching, you really need micro cord. I wonder if any stores hold thinner nylon cord.<br /><br />MarkJanez Novakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439525984508966195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-37233361535020793102013-08-28T03:57:14.100-04:002013-08-28T03:57:14.100-04:00@Susan, Some of the 0.9mm and 1.4mm cord came from...@Susan, Some of the 0.9mm and 1.4mm cord came from ebay(mowfugger is one source in my links list), some from RW Rope(also in my links list), and Atwood Rope Mfg also makes some micro sized cord. ;)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-59895480191650187972013-08-27T23:13:52.120-04:002013-08-27T23:13:52.120-04:00Where are you getting the .9 and 1.4mm cord for th...Where are you getting the .9 and 1.4mm cord for the center stitching?<br />Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415432931915692040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-72083456519987082632013-01-17T22:22:52.882-05:002013-01-17T22:22:52.882-05:00Very nice and would go over well the VA Hospital.Very nice and would go over well the VA Hospital.ARNWRKRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-62958009544763998822012-12-26T16:17:12.784-05:002012-12-26T16:17:12.784-05:00@Anonymous, I have not done a tutorial for adding ...@Anonymous, I have not done a tutorial for adding stairstep stitching to a paracord bracelet, but if you look at the <a href="http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/2012/10/center-stitched-paracord-bracelet.html" rel="nofollow">previous blog post</a> with the center stitching and video tutorial, the process is just slightly different.<br /><br />Instead of alternating the stitching to create the 'V' effect, the stairstep stitching is just repeated along side the previous stitch at the same repeated angle. ;)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-81159634709323457572012-12-26T15:29:30.499-05:002012-12-26T15:29:30.499-05:00maybe im stupid...but im new to this..my sister bo...maybe im stupid...but im new to this..my sister bought me one of these bracelets and i cant figure it out how to braid it.

It's hard to tell about cord just by looking at it online, so I couldn't say for sure about whether or not any certain type would work, but if it's a small enough diameter, it probably would work for stitching. <br /><br />Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-11174314091656234072012-12-24T11:46:26.098-05:002012-12-24T11:46:26.098-05:00SD - I was looking at the nylon cord at hobby lobb...SD - I was looking at the nylon cord at hobby lobby (artiste brand) and wondered if you thought it would work for this kind of project...they have ALL kinds of colors.

I had no problem adding 1.4mm and 0.9mm cord to paracord bracelets that I had tied several years ago, but using larger diameter cord, like 1/16" or 3/32" required a looser tied base knot, like the lanyard I tied with stitching added to both sides.<br /><br />Since I tie paracord bracelets/lanyards by hand(some use jigs) I use a consistant amount of tension, not too tight or loose, but some folks may make the knots much tighter, and that might make it hard to add in stitching... ;)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-36704568095960260582012-11-14T04:30:17.376-05:002012-11-14T04:30:17.376-05:00SD,
