Still holding the pinch, and letting the dark-threaded shuttle hang, pick up the light-threaded shuttle in your working shuttle hand. |
 |
Using your middle finger, catch up the light thread off the shuttle and hold it up, out of the way. |
 |
Insert the shuttle THROUGH - that is to say UNDERNEATH the dark thread wound around your hand. ...Still holding the light thread up and out of the way. |
 |
Once the shuttle has been pushed completely through, back it up and pull it OVER the dark thread, and UNDERNEATH the light threa on your middle finger. |
 |
Pull the shuttle back to it's starting position. You can see the the light "shuttle thread" thread is loosely wrapped around the dark "hand thread" |
 |
Here I've taken up the slack, and again the light "shuttle thread" is still twisted around the dark "hand thread" |
 |
Close-up...At this point, you have had your "hand thread" pretty tight. As you pull the yellow "shuttle thread" tighter, you must loosen your hand thread to allow the twist to reverse. |
 |
Loosen your left hand and pull the shuttle thread tight....FLIP! |
 |
As you can see here, the thread has flipped so that the dark "hand thread" is now wrapped around the light "shuttle thread" |
 |
Allow this little twist to slide down to the knot in "the pinch" by pulling the light-threaded shuttle. Hold onto this half stitch in the pinch. |
