I found some old files on my computer that may be useful for creating tangle type designs. I used Pattern Along Path to create the following patterns.

The original design before changing the colour to black and adding filters.

Result after using a different shape

Here are a few examples showing how the letter H can be used for a ladder or train track style design.

Here is a file with the shapes and the path used for the first two examples. If you try the letter H, experiment with different fonts.

Carolyn, you know I try everything you do. I'm working on the chain. Had to go find the tut on knots, but I don't think you used knot feature. I'll get back to you all IF I can ever recreate it. :lol:

Still playing with the settings for the different filters.

Thank, as always, for the inspiration.

Hi Susan, I did not use the knot feature. I only used Pattern Along Path.
Did you grab the SVG file I attached? It includes the path and link shape I used for two of the designs.
