Propagating my African Violets

Hey! I don't think I cover this in the about me section but I love plants epically the African Violets (My grandmother had hundreds of them). Well right now I'm trying my hand at propagating them so I can give on to my friend ... well that and the one that we have in my house which belongs to my mother is becoming sickly so I want to make sure we have copies of it in case it does end up dying (which would make me very sad). Anyways I'm making tuns of copies one for each of my closest friends, several for my bedroom, and some as late x-mas presents for my young life leaders.
