Also, make sure the back himo are long enough; she suggests they should be 3\/4 the length of the front himo rather than the 1\/2 as directed in the pattern. Fran also recommends Supertex for the backboard stiffener. It is a bookbinding board\/leather mix used in handbags and luggage that offers \"just the right combination of stiffness and flexibility.\" She says it comes in different weights, but is not washable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA customer from Pennsylvania shares the following: \"The pattern suggestions for the side stiffening of the Kataginu note that whalebone was traditionally used, and now thin slices of bamboo are used.  Even though I have access to bamboo, I use sport webbing.
