    Roach question...

    My question..."HOW DOES ONE STRAIGHTEN OUT A WAVE IN PORCUPINE HAIR ON A ROACH??"

    I'm uh, in the middle of a snowy road looking outside, yearning for a GOOOOOD pow wow to roll up pretty soon. After I sew me and my 2boys some new outfits and straighten out this hair. I want it to look good again.

    Hello raised_eagle_fan,
    I heard from a northern trad dancer that he fixed on the inside of the row with clue the porcupine hair and hold it in his hand while forming and let dry.
    It`s a pretty roach and seems like a good idea.
    With respect
    Tom

      roach problem
      by mexicadancer1
      I have a small problem, I think I wrapped my roach around my roach stick wrong, because now all the hair on my roach is bent and messed up. Does anybody here know what I should do? Sombody told me that I should soak my roach then shape the hair before it dries. Do you think this would work?...

      Roach Question
      by NDNQt
      This may have been discussed before I never visit this forum - anyway, I am helping get my 13-year old cousin's outfit together and now we have come to the roach. He isn't sure whether to get 1 or 2 rows of hair on the roach - what is the norm????

      How to Sew a Porky Roach with Nice Spread
      by NativeBoy'sMom
      What is the technique to get a good spread on a porky roach so that I don't have to use a roach spreader to flatten it?

      I've read in several old threads that a spreader shouldn't be used to spread the porky hair because it will break the hair eventually. The same posts said that if the...

      New Place, New Powwow
      by Ahoalo
      Aho!
      So, I have just moved to Indiana from Texas for college. Unfortunately that means my powwow is back home, and as it happens during the school year, I can’t go. I was hoping someone had recommendations for Powwows near East Indiana that I could go to. Unfortunately I’m apparently the only...
