Making A Purse Net - Part 2

Posted by Unknown Sunday, February 20, 2011 1 comment

Part 1 is here.

Place the spacer under the string.

Bring the needle around the back of the spacer and through the first loop.

Pull tight.

Bring the string up to make a loop while keeping the string tight around the spacer.

Thread the needle from the back around the two strings and through the loop.

After threading this through don't pull it tight.

Instead, pull the string up and out of the way.

With the string out of the way, bring the needle between the two strings.

Pull the string through and tighten the knot down.

Repeat this entire process until you have stitched up all the loops.

When finished with this, slide the wooden spacer out and you will see the new row of netting just made.

Continue to repeat the method row by row until you've reached the length on netting you want.

Tie an anchored string to a brass ring. You can use brass, wood, bone or anything to do the job.

You'll need to have a spacer and a net needle ready to go. Getting the net needle ready for use isn't too difficult if you have a net needle and twine and ready to go.

Thread the needle through the ring from behind it and pull through.

Pull the string up and behind the ring forming a loop.

Thread the net needle through the front side of the ring and through the loop.

Pull tight.

Make another loop behind the ring.

Thread the needle the through the front of the ring and thread through the loop.

Pull tight.

Now you have a tag end left hanging. Just leave it because you'll come back later to tie that part into the net.

Place the wooden spacer on top of the string.

Now, you will want to pull the string up and behind the ring making a loop.

Thread the needle through the ring and loop again and pull tight.

Make another loop behind the ring and thread the same way as before and pull tight. Now you have created a tightened loop around the wooden spacer. I like to make about 20 of these same kind of loops around the spacer.
