How do I get faster at tying without getting sloppy? by newtorope » Tue Aug 18, 2026 #1

Want to speed up my tying but not at the cost of clean work. How do you get faster without going sloppy? What am I missing?

Learning the ropes, literally.

Reading for the tie you are working on

Threads here are about one tie going wrong. The pages below are about why ties work at all, which is usually the part that is actually missing.

  1. How ties are built: components, not recipes
  2. The named ties, and a realistic order to learn them
  3. The box tie (takate-kote), and why it is not a beginner tie
  4. Nerve safety: the risk an upper-body tie carries
