Jimi, I'm not a expert on the rope-dubbing. I tried it several times and after some training and discussion with Dr.Rope - DonO - I finally found the trick. My suggestions: o) The amount of pressure you use to grip the material is important. Too much pressure prevents the rope from twisting around the thread. o) Use as little material as possible o) I started with SLF dubbing (long fibers) Was easy to start with. o) Start with wire instead of thread, the surface is smoothly, therefore the dubbing starts quickly to rope up. (To build the rope) o) If the rope didn't build up on the whole dubbing, give it a twist in the middle, it will start to rope.
For me the most important point was the first. The amount of pressure.
