Pine Needle Coiling -- A Beginner's Guide
Contains 34 pages, 23 photos, and 23 illustrations
Cost: $18.00 ... Includes shipping & handling ... will not be insured unless requested.
If you have never coiled a thing or can't figure out how to do the basic stitches, this booklet is
for you! The information that will not only get you started but also let you finish unlimited
number of pieces on gourds or wood. It will also teach you how to sew your stitches where
they will be straight on both sides ... not just one side.
Have you ever wondered where you are suppose to insert the needle in the back of the piece
as well as the front. This booklet contains detailed instructions and examples for both the
basic stitches (Pain, Split, Wheat, V, Fern, and Back Stitch) using thin threading (upholsters
& waxed linen) and wider threading (artificial sinew). It will also explain starting out and
coiling the first row with separate instructions for a gourd & wood, hiding beginning & ending
threads, & finishing off the last row. I've also added instructions off how to do Floating Coils
and how to coil over the holes drilled into the gourd.
This booklet gives information concerning the handling of the pine needles ... gathering,
storing, drying, preparing for coiling, and removing the caps. It also addresses various
types of treading, gauges, sewing needles, & supplies you will need. Helpful tips are given
throughout the booklet of experiences Hellen has had with coiling as well as other coilers.
Pattern Included -- Blueberry Delight ... Hellen added to the booklet already. This piece is
done a 1/4" thick 9" round board. She uses a V stitch thoughtout.
Comments:
"I've been coiling for about five years so I don't consider myself a beginner. I found
this booklet to be one of the most detailed informational books I've bought. The
illustrations and instructions leave no doubt where you "stick that needle" as Hellen
says. You can learn from just following the illustrations and not reading the
instructions. Hellen gives enough information in the 'Material and Supplies' section to
answer anyone's questions. I just love her comments and tips. She even lets you know
where to get the supplies. The layout of the booklet and inspirational pieces are
outstanding. Well worth every penny I paid because a coiler can make just about
anything with this booklet.

MULTIPLE PURCHASES: Since my web site service doesn't offer a "shopping cart" button, all purchases are billed as a single
