Hello , I have a question, how did the scribes line their work? Thanks for your answer, HEL

I am having a problem when cutting a quill. The problem is I cannot get the slit to stay together when I cut it there is always a gap and this is driving me nuts. Can you help? Thanks for your answer, HEL
You might be putting too much pressure at the slit or not releasing it fast enough. It will take a little bit of practice to get the “feel” of how much pressure is needed to create the slit without creating a gap.
Excellent information on how to cut a quill (with photos) can be found at Atlanta Friends of the Alphabet site.
