I've been fascinated with all the things people can create with the icord machine. I have an Addi Egg, which I've hardly used. Anyway, I tried to use it and the cord that I produced was ropey to say the least! A few of you suggested I needed a weight to make it consistent. I had a look on Amazon and it showed the Egg with a weight I didn't know it had! When I finally found the box, the weight and handle were in the bottom! So this is a chord for my glasses I've just made and I'm delighted. What a difference the weight made. Thanks for the suggestions.
