I have been teaching coiling forseveral years in my Fibers & Fabric Design classes and have collected illustrrations and various pictures through out the years. This was one of those full proof lessons I had with classes of 35. Unfortunatley our school flooded with 6 feet of water this summer and all of my instructions and examples were ruined. A wonderful coworker of mine came to my aid and found your site.I now have this wonderful tutorial to use to get the students involved and indendent support lessons. Many Thanks, E.

I make baskets out of recycled plastic and am often asked how to do it. I never seem to have the time to create a tutorial and have shared your tutorial with many. I have looked at dozens of tutorials on the internet but yours is the best. Thank you.<br>Sarahracha i just wanted to thank you for suck a detailed clear tutorial.

I've checked both sites you've suggested, but they did not have what I was looking for. However, in the mean time another crafter gave me an idea, which I used, with slight differences, and it works great. I'm still working on perfecting this, but I know I'll be able to add almost any designs to my baskets. If you wish to see a couple of the baskets I'm working on right now, I'll be happy to email you a picture. Or you can let me know how to post it here. Sister Diane, Thanks so much for your reply.

Could you give me some ideas on how to do this? I have searched the net for a long time now without any luck. Lots of instructions on making pine needle baskets and such, but nothing for baskets made with yarn. I've always admired the Native Indian art and would like to learn to make some of those designs on my yarn coiled baskets.<br>Thank you. Very precise instructions, thank you.
