Lattice Holding Technique
Foundations (it is correct to put your foundation then holding, then move onto the next foundation. As you can see, I chose to work the foundations but made sure to be careful of them until the holding went in :) ):
1 Flat Midori #67
1 Flat Midori #99
1 Flat Midori 5510
1 Flat Midori 51
Now the Lattice Holding: Using a couching thread, lay in two guidelines intersecting each other. Notice that I have laid one adjacent to the center line. The other at a 90 degree angle. Utilize the guidelines for all four secondary points.
Lay in standard #1 Gold intersecting the intersection (45 degrees or halfway between the +). Lay #1 gold at 3 mm intervals.
Work in the next "layer" of #1 Gold perpendicular to the first row 3mm apart. Then couch down the intersections using the #1 Gold. Watch the length of the couching threads. Too short and they will separate the foundation layer. Too long and you will see the couching stitch.
