Hey i know there have been a bunch of discussions regarding pughs. I have to tie a couple of pughs for a school vaisakhi show and i havfe no trouble tieing the pugh but i was just wonderin what are some of the things u guys do to create the clean round shape to the turla rather than it being a random masss sticking out of ur pugh ?

u gotta take the turla ends and tuck em into the pagg (the sides) so its not like a fan--and gives u that roundish shape (but im not entirely sure-I've never tied an actual pagg, cept on a bear-and that doesnt count---but the person who told me this im sure has tied plenty)

Not only that but you need to tuck the sides in near the middle to get the more individual round shape as opposed to a half circle fan shape. Eeek it's quite difficult to explain.

Practice practice practice. And watch the SGPD over and over again. We almost have it memorized in terms of background noise. "Suck it up jag!"

i use 6 meters because you need some material to work with when you scrunch up the leftover material into a ball to support the turla...also dont overstarch the pugh...starch 9 - 10 inches on one end. its plenty to get teh job done.. if you overdo the starching then the turla is too high to neatly tuck in the starched corners of the pugh.
