It's almost impossible to describe, wish I could show you! You bring the needle up from underneath, wrap the thread around it 3 or 4 times depending on the size you want, then insert the needle down thru the material as close to the entry point and pull it thru ... make any sense? Does your library have any embroidery manuals? |

Like many things, once we figure it out we wonder why we couldn't get it before .... like me and copy and paste! Mags walked me thru that baby step by baby step, bless her! |
