    My snowflake seems a little floppy. Am I just not pulling it tight enough or is there a secret to it?

      It can be a little floppy so you’ll need to pull tight and reinforce the whole thing.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern.

    I used Fireline, pulled the thread tightly and reinforced it several times, it remained floppy.
    Then tried fishing line, still floppy.
