Tight coil
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
Slightly moisten one edge of the quilling paper. Pass it into the slotted quilling tool. See Picture 1.a bit of paper is coming through the slot. Pull paper back so that edge coming out of the tool is not being seen. (Picture 2) Supporting the paper in one hand and holding the tool in the other hand turn the tool (Figure 3).Paper rolls around the tool. Turn the tool so that the edges of the paper are even keeping the paper as tight as possible. Paper is rolled till the end leaving a small bit. Apply a tiny bit of glue in the middle of the strip .roll till the end keep the Roll tight for a while .Make sure the coil is stuck properly before relaxing the fingers. Holding the coil tightly pull the coil from the tool. Do not pull the tool from the coil.It helps to remove the coil from the tool without creating a "tornado" This is tight coil.Always it is better to tare off a little bit of paper from each end as torn end glues down smoother

Loose coil
Procedure of making loose coils is same as making tight coil except for the tension applied on the paper. While starting to roll more tension is applied and later on tension is eased a little. This makes coil centers small. After reaching the end; the coil is removed from the tool and allowed to unwind .A drop of glue is applied to the end and stuck. This is a loose coil. Loose coil forms the basis for other shapes of coils .To get equal sized loose coils, rolled coils are allowed unwind inside a circle template of same size. After the coil has relaxed apply glue and secure the loose end
