Keep 'em coming.
Tip: two speed moves will help you: the loose thread wrap and the "slide.". These both pertain to ribs. To tie in wire or tinsel, learn to avoid the thread pinch wrap, instead making a loose wrap to grab the material. Once you grab it, make a second snug wrap, then slightly reduce thread tension and slide the ribbing stub to just under the thread. This saves you the time-consuming steps of pinching and cutting.
Tip: a dubbed body looks best with a slight taper. I use the "1, 2, 3" method. Say you want to dub three inches of thread. Lightly dub the full (1/1) length of three inches. Then lightly overdub the leading half (1/2) again for one and a half inches. Finally, lightly overdub the leading third (1/3) on the final inch. This method will give you a visible taper, but only if you lightly dub. The first layer of dubbing should just barely cover the thread; most people use too much!
Tip: stranded nylon thread (UTC 70) is a must-have. The fine nylon strands bind material better than bonded (round) thread. To make a slim (non-bulky) tie-in point, saw the thread back and forth a bit. This flattens it around the circular hook shank. To make a neat whip finish, spin your bobbin a bit to make the thread back to a cylinder-the fly's head will look much neater. Use the finest denier thread that you can, in general, 8/0 or 70. The modern threads are far stronger than the old ones.
