Dear Liz et al, Thanks for the input. Y'know, my Dad always said, "When in doubt, read the directions." I checked my book, the one by Barbara Corbet, which I highly recommend, and she suggests the plait. However it seems to me that the pin solution is faster, and possibly more accurate. I will have to experiment. I was trying to figure out how to prevent holes next to the gimp when decreasing, and figured with all the expertise out there, I didn't have to re-invent the wheel. How right I was. Thank you all.
