| Fig 1: We begin by doing a long tailed daisy loop with the start point on A. The loop is angled at about 90 degrees since we are making a zig zag pattern. While making the ‘tail’ for the loop, we wrap the thread around the needle as shown in the illustration. |
Fig 2: Then, the needle is put in through C and brought out through D, again at an angle of about 90 degrees. Then, loop the thread around the needle in the other direction as we wrapped. See the illustration. This is to make the next long tailed daisy. |
