I think I can help clear up the confusion with the sixth step if you’d like!

Where the margin is, you’ll want to spread that flat, so you can see where the cuts start on either side.

With the diagonal cuts, you can get a ruler if you like, line it up from the end of the first cut, over the ‘margin’ or seam or whatever, to the end of the SECOND cut on the other side of the margin. Once you make that cut, the fabric should begin to unloop into one long line

The start of the cuts will still be a t-shirt loop, but once you go through and cut the rest of the shirt, you can come back at the end and cut it so it forms one big long line of “t-shirt yarn”

I hope this makes sense- I spent a bit of time puzzling over it before I had a friend help me >:P

I finally got around to making one of these! Murder on my hands, using crappy scissors, but it looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Ooooh, I get it. This could be fun. And for the price of two biggie teeshirts at the Goodwill, certainly worth the price

Curves- Yes, you can indeed do that! In fact, it almost seems easier-I didn’t because this way I didn’t have fabric everywhere right away.

Stella Maris- I SAID step 6 was the hard one. Geez. Lyric is an unappreciative wench, and you should tickle her in her sleep.

Tina M- What you are trying to do is make a continuous spiral of fabric. You are just cutting across the margin diagonally from each cut to the one adjacent. The only place you cut ‘out’ is from the edge to the first cut.
