How do you tie a clean front turla by yourself? I've been having a lot of trouble doing this. I know that their used to be a video up showing you how to do it yourself, but it's been taken down for some reason. If someone could post another video that would be great!
Thanks!
Tieing a Pagg on yourself is no different than tieing it on anyone else.
Here's what I've learned from practice.
1.) Tie a jooda tightly and towards the middle of the head. You don't want the jooda in the front as its going to be difficult to tuck in the turla.
2.) Tie a regular patka over the jooda itself.
3.) Start tieing the Pagg. Make sure that the 1st two larhs are SUPER TIGHT, and the last 3 larhs are "not too loose / not too tight".
4.) Tuck in the last larh securely. This will determine how easy tucking the turla will be.
5.) You tuck in the turla and start shaping in. In order to shape, you want to make sure that you're tucking in the sides from the back. As long as you tuck the pagg from the back, the shape of the turla will come out perfectly.
Hints: For the larhs, make sure that the last two/three larhs don't have too much of a gap. When you tuck in the turla, the larh's have a tendency to move up. So if they're tied closely, they will move to the perfect size after the turla is tucked in.
