Using floss doubled thru needle, insert needle from right side, two rows from finished edge, to go thru to back and back to front side to the finished edge.
Repeat by going down in the next stitch, two rows from finished edge and bring back up at finished edge.
Example: Keep loops about 1/2" long, be careful not to pull them tight when doing the looping.
When you have finished with the first threaded needle, start again with another threaded needle.
Repeat across row.
