Hi Sondra and welcome to our little family forum. We are glad to have you here :)
The mushroom rooting tool is actually my personal favorite! Do you need help on how to insert the needle, what kind of needles to get or how to hold it while rooting? I can be a little intimidating at first when you are learning to root, I totally understand. Go ahead and post on which part of using it you need, and someone will jump back in to help.
And since you are a beginner, you may want to use our "search" bar at the top of the page, in the red bar. Just click on the word search, type in your words, and hit enter. It will should bring up most topics on that subject. Like if you type in "rooting", it will give you all the threads that "rooting" is in. If you type in "rooting tools", "rooting needles", ir anything like that, you will get the threads concerning that.
Thank you so much for your response, sorry I am so late in responding but I had a family emergency and am just now getting back. I finally figured out how to insert the needle; I had ordered from bountiful baby order #4477. I wasn't sure what size of needle is best to use. Also, I only had some human hair I had bought at Sally's. Not sure who to order from or what I should use for "infant" or "toddler". I would appreciate any suggestions.
I've been out of action for sometime now due to my husband needing surgery and three new G'childre from Xmas day12, then Mar13 and a very special little girl needing major surgery on the 30th MY 13. I have been unwell for about 5 weeks and now Sam, my husband has the notifacation to have a hip replacement on the 30th Oct. so i guess this year is out. I live in Aust and have been a member of the forum for a long time. There are great helpful hints in the seach as Pat said, and i have reborning friends from her on FB. They are all willing to share their knowledge. This is a family friendly forum and even though i haven't been as active as i used to be, i can catch up with the reborners when i post. I haven't used human hair but i think it would be great for toddlers. I have bought size 42 folked needles to try when i start rooting two kits i have started. A few of the reborners say that's what they use. There Re some very talented ladies and when they root they do it very sparcely, which makes it look realistic. Happy reborning.
