the buttwrap wasn't so much where i was speaking of, but it does occur there too. i only mentioned the butt wrap because i screwed up all the work i put into yesterday's wrap.

what i am referring to is the guide underwraps. for instance, i was looking at some color patterns at M&D's two weeks ago. there was a nice metallic blue underwrap with black overwrap for the guides on a batson. when i looked at the work, i could not see any shine of the inderwraps showing through the overwrap. but, when i attempt the same color combo i see a shine from the metallic thread showing through here and there. now is this just better work by the builder, or should i use black for the underwraps with only the visible parts of the underwrap done metallic? does that clarify a liitle better?
