Notes:

For consistently sized zigzag puffs, each puff should have the same number of zigzags on either side of the tallest center zigzag.
When piping zigzag puffs, think about two motions: up and down and to the side simultaneously. The up and down movement of your arm determines the height of the waves; the motion to the side effects the distance between them.
• The pressure on your bag and the size tip you use determines the thickness of the line..
