Working with a Big Wing
Tuesday 15 June 2010 | 1:38 am | Meghan
The video below gives some basics on how to work with a full-sized Dyed4you wing. Here I’m using a 45×108 semicircle in 8mm china silk with a wing seam added. It uses a 48″ dowel, which can be purchased from someplace like Home Depot.
If you haven’t watched my Wing Basics video – I suggest starting there 
Thanks to my dear hubby Allen for filming

These are my favorite I think. I totally love these.

The large wing is awesome. But I don’t think i could use this one. I am only 5′ 1, short,
Plus i would need a larger house. But I love the way it moves, it is just gorgous!!! I love the sounds that it makes. God bless you!

The altered wing is definitely a more manageable size especially if you’re not used to using one! If you got an altered one in the 8mm weight (instead of the 5mm I show in my example), it would still make this sound

[...] In this video I mention showing you a heavier weight wing – that can be found here [...]

Oh! This one too! Maybe you could just add a tag onto the new wing & 411 videos. These are great Meghan!
