Techniques & Suggestions

Joining to LBP from second side of SR

Work to the point where join is to be made.

Remove safety pin and pull a loop of the core thread from the second half of the SR up through the space left by the safety pin. Take the shuttle you have just been working with on the second side of the SR through the loop just made and close carefully checking that the core thread is still able to move through the SR.  Continue with pattern.
