not that hard to tie it on yourself, it just takes practice and the ability to break down a video. :)

Re-quoting myself from another thread:

rajkaran said:
I see what everyone is saying and I've def. been in the position of tying for other teams too (I've also had to say "no" to some teams too :( ).

I think one of the main problems is that though there are a few good videos out there, most of them require some sort of background in pagh tying (making pooni properly, the particular thumb folds when tying each larh, the whole process of making proper maava, etc.). I think if one person made a nice, multi-step, easy to follow/see video in ENGLISH starting with making the maava and finishing with tucking in the turla, you'd have more people who'd be willing to learn themselves. This video would have to be very slow, instructional, and zoom in on particular problem areas when tying a pagh...and it would be nice if it would address certain problem solving issues when tying (for example, what to do if the turla is over-starched?). Granted, actual practice does make perfect, but having this sort of video as a resource would make people feel more confident in their abilities of tying. The problem is who out of the community (who can tie paghs well enough) is willing to put in the time to do this? I would if I tied paghs as well as other teams :(

Any takers? hahaha

Edit: The video should also include REASONS for each step. Why am I making this larh thicker and tighter than the others? Why am I leaving this much material leftover? So on and so forth...That way people are actually learning and not just regurgitating steps. Hmmmm...I'd imagine having this sort of video would also increase the respect for paghs during performance and have people realize it's not just a "hat" that you dance with. Once people know how to tie paghs well, you can almost guarantee that pagh incidents will happen less on stage...or so one can hope?
Let's see it happen! woohoo!
