ok..I know the loops aren't all the same size...I was practicing for the fold.

I find myself having trouble creasing...then I get frustrated and simply tie it off without creasing.

How bad is it? I think I have the concept down!

you got the fold right cheerl but it looks like the back of the bow. Turn it , add a knot, it will be the perfect boutique bow:)

I had the same problem! I thought the back was the front till I bought directions and realized I was doing it wrong all along.

Great bow, by the way!

When I started I had a lot of trouble with the creasing. The bow would slip or the loops were wrong. I bought the gatorbite and would not make a bow without it now. I still sew the middle to make is secure but the creasing is done without problems.

Practice practice practice.

We have all been there.

Love the gator bite. Can't make a boutique bow yet, but I use mine to crease pinwheel bows. If you are interested in purchasing one, you can go to lookatmebaby.com

I'm glad you figured that out. I was looking at the bow and was thinking that something was not quite right but I couldn't figure out what. Then I read your post and had my A-Ha! moment. That is exactly what it is.
