Diagram Four When the strands of the fibers become taut against the laying tool, raise it away from the fabric os it is directly above the stitch, keeping the fibers taut and still lying side-by-side over the shaft. Diagram Five If some strands are twisted or crossed gently stroke the fibers away from the entrance point and toward the exit point. Two or three strokes are usually enough.

As you pull the fibers through the fabric to complete the stitch, the laying tool should follow the strands down toward the surface of the fabric, keeping them taut, until the strands lie flat on the fabric. Gently slide the tool out and you're finished.
