Notes

Use consistent pressure with each piped line to make a smooth braid. Experiment with different sized star and round tips to change the shape and size of the braid. If piping a braid for other purposed than a border, give it a finished look by crossing the final piped lines over each other, bringing them to a point. Give it a tied off look with a bow or pipe stars across the end.
