As on the breast, the temporary holding stitches are curved to serve as a guide for the short stitch holding.

The rows of holding stitches alternate between 1 into 2 soft twist in the same colour as the foundation, and #1 gold. The stitches match the angle of the foundation stitches and the curve of the temporary holding stitches.

The background fan is one shade deeper that the foreground fan. The short stitch holding is worked in the same colour.

When a foundation radiates in this way, the light is reflected in different directions and gives the impression that the element has been stitched in several different shades of the same colour when, in fact, it is stitched in a single shade.
