4. With the shaped cloth held firmly in the left hand to hold the folds, the thread is wrapped around the cloth.

5. The thread is bound around the fabric evenly until it reaches the top near the hook. The thread is then brought back to the base by making several turns around the bound cloth.

6. The thread is not cut, but is continued onto the next shaped part of the cloth.
