Thanks Rene,
I played with your tips as well as what Done sent me off list. I think I
am getting this, slowly. One thing is I have to pay attention as to which
direction I spin it, one way tightens as you wrrap, the other lossens. As
long as I rememver that it seams to work pretty well.

Jimi,
I'm not a expert on the rope-dubbing. I tried it several times and after
some training and discussion with Dr.Rope - DonO - I finally found the
trick. My suggestions:
o) The amount of pressure you use to grip the material is important. Too
much pressure prevents the rope from twisting around the thread.
o) Use as little material as possible
o) I started with SLF dubbing (long fibers) Was easy to start with.
o) Start with wire instead of thread, the surface is smoothly, therefore
the dubbing starts quickly to rope up. (To build the rope)
o) If the rope didn't build up on the whole dubbing, give it a twist in the
middle, it will start to rope.
For me the most important point was the first. The amount of pressure.
