No it tangles really fast. After u open it it will pretty much be useless. The worst quality ever.

no. that's actually what I bought it for and It just gets so tangled I even tried cutting it short. I ended up throwing it away. don't waste your money on it.

my granddaughter uses it for cos-play, but she said it would be good for braiding

It is easy to install and I would think it would be suitable for practice. I think the silk ones might actually be better for dance if you are talking about what I think you are. cirque de Soleil type stuff? This could be a little stiff for dance. But I love it. It's kind of like parachute material if that helps.

I would say yes. definitely. It is lightweight and easy to handle. And easy to steer. it was a problem on my braided rug over my family room carpet but any kind would not go well on that!! Other than that I think it would be awesome for him!! Give it a try!!

Yes, I would strongly recommend it. I have created several designs using Corel Draw. I am self taught and learned more from watching YouTube videos.

Its synthetic so you probably can use rollers and hot water. The same thing females use when making synthetic braids curly.

Yes it would. Many people now use smaller more expensive reels with braid. But the jig master will do the job with or without braid. If trolling yes the level wind is a better choice. Try a penn 320GT Same weight and dimensions as a jig master with a levelwind.

Yes, but I have not chosen to use this piece of equipment that was supplied with this kit. I am using woolen fabric and like a curved large-eyed needle better for stitching/lacing the braids together. The illustrations and steps suggested in the booklet are very good and when followed, gives the participant confidence to do it successfully. I am glad I ordered this kit and have shared it with several people, even to demonstrating the use at a fiber retreat last October. Thanks. Lee Bates

I'd advise against it. The tang for attachment is modest and you would want it all on a board for added strength.

It is okay for most applications, however, I found it did not last long enough to maintain the "bite" needed for fiddling. I suggest you try something "softer", but watch the residue build up. You could try a cello rosin. I haven't tried it yet. I use Bernadel violin rosin, and like it very much.

I would want to say you can put it in any style you would like, the only problem with marely braids is that they frizz. Other than that it's great.

I would. The brushes are great for designs, the dotting tools have a wide variety of sizes & everything has held up very well since I got mine about a year ago. Great quality.

I doubt if it blows the hair around. I normally dry my braids for a braidout. I'm 4a Kinky-Curly. If you want to dry a WnG (a style I don't rock), I believe it will dry in place and to your satisfaction, but much faster than usual. I'm under the dryer now. If you like, when I co-wash Sunday, I can get under the dryer with my hair out to see if it blows or stays in place.

I've used lead core and it handled it just fine. Anything else is i.e. mono, braid, other should be fine.

If this is a question that is asking for rug braiding supplies, does that mean that you are inquiring about this particular starter kit? If so, the directions are very good to excellent about creating braided rugs, mats, placemats, etc. The little metal cone that folds thin fabric is good for that, but for thicker fabric, it isn't sufficient. That part is done best by hand folding and pressing with a hot steam iron. The needle for lacing is good if you have no other large curved needle for upholstery work or if that style. Overall, I think that this kit is worth the money in that it has excellent illustrations in the diagrams and photos in the book, answers many questions you would think of while trying to do this craft. I am glad I purchased mine and intend to make many more items using this kit. Hope this helps answer your question.

I don't think this would be a good product for what you want. It makes your hair look textured and messy. It doesn't feel crunchy or hard though unless you use way too much.
