My Amish Jewels version of the Painted Diamonds Bag is ready to felt/full. I-cord handles have been twisted and tied with a square knot. Should I leave them twisted or undo them and twist them after the bag has been processed? I am leaning towards leaving them twisted through the water bath. Any thoughts or recommendations from experience?
Update: Today, August 28th, was felting/fulling day. The bag was processed with the handles twisted. They didn't stick to the bag and they can be separated to be twisted again. Some thought they might untwist with the vigorous agitation. They may but they are just as likely to twist more.
Also, some recommended securing the handles with additional stitches. I did this and I tied them before twisting.
