Fig. 11. Second Winding.
Second Winding.
In single or plain stitch, ([Fig. 7]) do not cross the yarn.
1. The first winding ended at B with the last cross at C.
2. Wind the yarn around D and E without crossing it, and so on back to the end of the rake where the first winding began. Wrap the yarn around the tack.
3. The yarn has passed twice in front of each nail with the exception of nail B.[1]
4. With the pick lift the lower thread (first winding) over the upper thread, (second winding) and off the nail. Do not stretch the yarn more than just enough to lift it over the head of the nail. Do this at each nail along one side, then along the other, leaving out the nail B which has just one thread. This completes the first row of stitches.
5. Draw the smooth flat side of the pick rapidly down the length of the rake between the rows of nails to push down the yarn, and make room for the next winding.
Second Winding—Continued.
In double or cross-stitch. ([Fig. 8])
