STEP 3:  To create the Flat Stitch Variation section you must pay close

attention to your stitch direction.  Use three plies of Soie d’alger 1341 for

the entire section.  Follow the Master Chart and Figure 3 for placement. I

used a variety of colours to help in reading this chart.  Watch the

placement of the first stitch that is shown in grey.  You can place the

compensating stitches, shown in green, whenever you feel comfortable; I

would do them as soon as possible so that they don't get forgotten.  I have

also included a close up of the right-hand corner as the stitches turn to

give a mirror image.  You can turn your page or turn your work to make

the stitching easier. 

Note there are six Continental Stitches worked on

the mitred line using three plies of Soie d’alger 1342.
