I am going to be making my Wilton II class cake next week and wondered if anyone could give me tips on how they have done with the basketweave and any tricks they have learned. Also, how do you keep your vertical and horizontal lines straight? Thanks!
I found when you did the basketweave flat on the table the first time was hard to figure out but when I did it on the cake side was soooo much easier. If you make sure your first lines are straight and keep it tight it should stay straight. Practice with your practice board on the upright position. It isn't that hard to do.

Ditto!!! and if I may add--be patient with yourself. I'll come.
Thank you all so much. I love the sewing gauge idea! This would help me make that "light" imprint on the cake. Also, I hadn't thought to set my practice board up on the stand! What super insights! Thanks again, I knew where I should turn. Have a sweet night everyone!
