Okay, the basics I first learned, and yes I am repeating others:
1. A pair of EMT or safety shears is about $5 and invaluable. Always keep a pair EASILY GRABABLE when you're in a scene. Even if you never use them in an emergency, they're the best way to cut rope short of the heat cutters that cost way too much and aren't portable.
2. Never use a slip knot or anything that could tighten agianst a person. That's about 90% of the woodscraft knots I know, so you'll be learning a lot more at the basic level.
3. Always leave enough room to slide two fingers between the submissive and the rope.
4. Pay attention to what the sub says. Numbness and/or tingling in someone's hands needs to be dealt with at once.
5. Research. There are a lot of good videos on youtube (and a good thing, since most books on the subject I find hard to follow) as well as the many excelent books on the subject.
6. Beyond safety concerns, you can take advice with a grain of salt. There are a great number of people who do rope who feel that their highly formalized style is the one and only way to tie someone up. I'm sure it works, and is both safe and enjoyable for all concerned, but it is not the one true way.
Have fun.
