Tip
Tip: Use a soft pinch when securing materials and keep thread tension controlled
How to do it: Pinch materials softly and control thread tension so materials do not unravel or slip
Mistake it fixes: Pinching too hard or using uncontrolled thread tension
Why it works: Soft pinching and controlled tension hold materials without cutting or displacing them. Hard pinching damages fibres.
When it matters most: Fly tying
