 Re: Learning to overlap

It should be noted that once the blades are tied in place, they don't "want to" move.

If they overlap after the binding, it's near impossible to center them without using wire or the like. So if you can't make the overlap, its because you are really doing an first-rate job at tying them.

There might be one exception, however. If you mount your reed too short, that is, the blades close much before you stop winding the thread, the pressure from the thread will make the sides push one blade against the other. Having nowhere left to go towards the staple, they might seek to go sideways.

..... easier to show than to explain in text.

Cheers!
