Ti Stitch for pine needle coiling

[@raspberry185]

Oh thank you so much! As a newby at coiling, I love seeing details! Very nicely done!

[@EsmereldaPea]

I'm an instructional designer as well as a crafter and I want to commend you on your instructions!! Thank you so much!

[@artgal7]

Hey Carol ..thanks for this video. I've never used the Ti stitch. It's a beautiful stitch and with your great instructional video, there's no reason not to learn it. Love all your videos. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into making these easy to follow instructions. Much appreciated.

Beautiful work--not just the artwork, but the work of teaching. Thank you very much, I was a teacher so I know how much effort goes into making something like this clear and easy to follow! Just learning about pine needle artwork, using 5" Norway pine needles in Wisconsin, and from my first little tray to my next project of an actual basket, I suspect I'll improve by leaps and bounds--all thanks to your tutorials.

[@judygoring]

This was so helpful and clear. I also like how professional and neat your finished stitches look and you demonstrated perfectly how to accomplish that. I will watch and practice all your other videos on pine baskets. Thank you so much.

[@ellenblack5376]

You are a wonderful teacher. Excellent demonstration and explanation. Thank you

[@janapoulsen]

Thank you. Your instructions are very clear and simple to follow.

[@CDLuminous]

Great technique, and very clear instruction. Thank you!

[@tarah4503]

Thank you so much! I have been looking to try pine needle baskets and your video is super helpful

[@ruthcline5465]

Beautiful stitch! Thanks for the clear tutorial 👍

[@sagebonsai]

this was very helpful i'm gonna try this sometime. your work is very beautiful and i hope to meet your expectations some day. i am new to pine weaving and so it will take me years to master this art. i wish to bring back pine baskets to the southern ute tribe. no one in my tribe does this work anymore, im one of forty out of forty five thousand that is pine weaving.

[@bustoc]

glad you found it useful. and also glad you are re-introducing the art to your tribe. good luck and happy coiling!

[@7MoonSonoma]

Wonderful to keep it alive. I recommend videos by Julia Parker Master basket maker Native from Yosemite, California. I forgot what tribe but what a lovely storyteller!

[@sagebonsai]

@@7MoonSonoma thank you, I still work on pine baskets from time to time. As of right now I'm just taking a break of everything. Trying to clean up my junk that I accumulated in life, get healthier, and try and stick to one thing in life. Right now my main focus is working bonsai mainly trying to introduce sagebrush to the bonsai world as its often overlooked and ignored. I personally think native american culture has a special place within bonsai. The world just never thought that we wanted to be apart of it.

[@mitzimess1618]

Love doing this stitch but wondering how you start this and go to the next row to make sure I am doing it right. Thank you - you are an excellent teacher!

[@debbiegillespie9010]

I have the same question

[@HappyVacationer]

Thanks for all your videos! Lovely work!

[@robertarnsworth2464]

Thanks for being so clear and showing it so specifically .

[@DebraCarmona]

THANK YOU for your videos. You do fabulous work! I am just getting started with pine needle basketry so your videos have helped me understand the process. Could you do a short video on how you end and start with a new piece of sinew and how you hide the ends please.

[@jeanmahan4767]

Carol Carol, I just googled your name for this pine needle lesson and this is what showed up when your Chanel came up🤷‍♀️ this is the first time I’ve ever seen where they have made so much personal information available. 😰. Just to let you know. 🤷‍♀️

[@aprilnorton321]

I really enjoyed this. You are so clear in your instructions. Thank you!

[@7MoonSonoma]

Love you instructions! Thanks❤

[@bustoc]

Sorry folk for being remiss in my replies. Apparently I am unable to respond using my iPad and I rarely get on the computer any more. So...to quickly reply....now that I've figured out how.....here goes. Ronald....I'm unsure of what you are asking, so cannot respond to your question. Dorothy, you start the Ti stitch from the wrap the same way you do it on other rows....no different. Judi, when you wrap the first row, the stitches just remain vertical. I will try to do another video at some point on transitioning to the next row. If I recall correctly, there is nothing special about that either....you just continue on doing the same thing....you're just on the next row.

[@hhorror]

Hi Carol, what is the copper guide called, and where can I purchase one? I've tried googling "copper guide basket weaving" but wasn't able to find anything, so I'm guessing this device might have another name.

[@pamandrews3220]

That’s so pretty.

[@littledebrarae]

I love this stitch. I'll be certain to try it for some of my 'agate' centers.

[@diychristianeskalebassenku2927]

Well explained and demonstrated!

[@tammycopeland2861]

Hey Carol. What is the copper guide and where can you purchase these? Love you videos! Thanks!!

[@EsmereldaPea]

I was wondering that too! I'm thinking of grabbing a piece of copper pipe and cutting a short length. I know there's a flare tool, but not sure if there's a tool for the opposite for the other end. :)

[@dorothywilliamson638]

do you have a video that shows how to start the ti stitch from the wrap and then go on to ti stitch I love your video I make baskets but not very long please let me know

[@sweetybabeism]

such a nice video, thank you Carol!

[@debbiegillespie9010]

Yes but how do you initially start this stitch from your wrapped coil

[@natgirya]

Спасибо! Очень хороший урок.

[@hhorror]

Does anyone know what the copper guide is called and/or where I might purchase one?

[@dewinnutn]

How do you start? If you haven’t made any stitches????

[@RonaldModesitt]

Carol, At what spacing do you begin a new intermediate stitch? And how do you transition to that new intermediate stitch? Great video! Ron

[@leilabaqi2170]

Where I can purchase all the supplies

[@nancyloental862]

Is there a book ot that teaches you and demonstrates all the different stitches, It is hard for me because I am left handed but if I had a book with diagrams tha would certainly help me

[@bustoc]

Nancy, I'm not aware of any books that teach for left handers, but if you watch the videos in a mirror, it works perfectly for left handers. Sorry for the late response but I don't get notifications that people have left messages.

[@jeannevisvader9828]

Thank you!

[@RonaldModesitt]

Carol, How do you splice additional sinew into the Ti stitch?

[@judihill3319]

Please show how you continue to the next row. The more you can show in a sitting, is really appreciated. Please talk about how you wrapped and kept your stitches to the center at 90 degrees. thank you

[@brenda012249]

Where can I purchase senu and other supplies I, I live in Lehigh , fl. Near Ft. Myers fl

[@goretisantos33]

Só acho que podia ter opção de legenda em portugues, né.

[@jeanmahan4767]

I’ll post it on your Fb page because I can’t post it here.

[@tarabonee8855]

How wonderful!

[@MrMunchiemo]
