Description:

Making coils that are 10+ inches long by hand is not my idea of a good time. Fortunately, we have the technology to make this a relatively easy and inexpensive task. If you've been frustrated by this in the past, this comprehensive tutorial will lead you through the steps and offer solutions for problems that can be used in hand coiling, too!

You are totally welcome, JW! And don't be trying to convince us that you are old - that is just fishing for sympathy! I don't know any old people - just folks whose reflection in the mirror doesn't match the youth in their hearts!

I think the best part of all your tutorials (at least the ones I have :D) is how to fix the uh-oh's. We've all made them and itis so nice to see someone say "This is how I fix it"!

Submitted by Gwen on Sat, 01/24/2009 - 22:16.

I finally made this happen, how wonderful! The only problem I encountered was that I used a dog leash hook, it spins and has a circle which I anchored on, however; the dog leash metal spinner was TOO heavy and broke my practice wire. I continued searching my vast supply of crafty stuff and came up with a fishing bobby thing that spins like the example that works great. Hindsite, find something light weight that spins and you can anchor the hook on.......
Thank You Perri for your awesome directing.....This is fantastic and really very simple....
