The 7/8 inch size makes a great garter. Just cut the ends in a swallowtail and you're good to go.
Excuse my ignorance but can you explain your method for "cut the ends in a swallowtail" Thanks. This sounds like a viable idea. Perhaps there is something in weaving ala the style from House of Cheviot that I do not understand, and I will be the first to admit it, but they seem expensive.
