The second step is to lay stitches perpendicular to the foundation. I have used two strands of #1 gold. These stitches are tied down at intervals in the gaps left in the foundation layer.

The third layer of stitching is to lay weft foundation stitches between the original foundation stitches.

These stitches will be held down with a 1-2 twist in the foundation colour thus creating the woven effect.
Happy Stitching

WOW Carol-Anne you've been stitching a TON! Great work!
Considering that I was stitching for nearly 10 hours a day (heaven) I didn't think that I had got much done, but I am very pleased with the quality of my work. The only part that I am not really satisfied with is the gap between the brown foundations. It should be straight with an even space between the two parts. As it is in the middle of the design, I found it a little difficult to reach and control the placement of the stitches. I am considering removing this part and redoing it.
