They always start with the ecru on the shuttle so their stitches will be the color.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300310306165976695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560521201385627498.post-7703428514694729742018-04-03T23:40:02.664-06:002018-04-03T23:40:02.664-06:00I wish I'd started with the chain and two colo...I wish I'd started with the chain and two colors. I start beginners with 2 colors and a chain - they can *see* the flip that way. I usually suggest they pick 2 contrasting colors so if one stitch doesn't flip, they will be able to see it right away.<br />StephanieWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560521201385627498.post-28957832658018254842018-04-03T20:20:46.401-06:002018-04-03T20:20:46.401-06:00Thank you so much for the comments.

I'll recommend that they don't pick the same colors, I wish I had learned the chain first.

Remember the mantra - right tight, left loose to make the flip happen!!!! Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.com
