Hi Inge
Thanks for that post! That was a great idea. I never thought of it, but now that you have, it would be such a boon to all the do-it-yourselfers to have such a video.I would even buy it! Beginning and ending techniques too. I struggled for years to learn these things and I don't think I know the ones PP uses!

Knotting techniques have always been a highly guarded secret (witness Bernadette's posts!) but I seriously doubt putting it out there for us that love making our own will jeopardize the trade for the pros!

So Dear Jeremy,
I hope you will see the wisdom in this request. If such a video only went to PP and PGF people, it would help some of the best educated pearl people to expand their horizens!

Have any of you seen the video of the Asian (japanese?) way to fold a t-shirt? I saw it on Martha Stewart once and it is incredible and fast!
