Irish5's instruction is the way I do it. It is really the most effective way to get your rows to look like a continuous design as opposed to what I call "railroad track" look. A lot of pantos already have partial designs on top and bottom of panto so that one can decide what point to use as a reference for the next row..........even if you are a visual learner you can follow the directions......read the directions while at the machine and as you read each step do it....and suddenly you have created a visual lesson.........
