    You can get a nice line by shaping a stainless steel binding wire to
    the desired shape and tapping it down with hammer on a hard surface.
    It can be taped into place if you have trouble holding where you
    want it. Other wires such as copper or regular binding wire can be
    used but the will deform and so the line quality will change. Do not
    use a good metalsmithing hammer to do this and if the metal is
    annealed, so much the better.
