How do you guide the 'crinkling' as the slips collapse? It seems that
they should accordian down neatly, but instead mine just rolled over.
Is it easier to learn on some larger slips of generic feathers?

If you keep your fingers tight around them, the only place they can go
is down. Don't get the impression that the thread does all the
pulling-- the fingers need to do the pushing too.

By the way, I think this is tough, and probably why not many people I know
tie fly's with this type of wing.
