First make a loop.
Instead of a pin, use a thread (green) to loop
and stretch the (purple) thread.
Take the purple thread out in the first hole.
Weave up
and down over the two purple bars.
When you reach the end
release the purple thread from the green loop.
Stretch the bar,
or let it form an arch,
or twist it to form a 'screw'.
Then anchor it.
Remove the green loop thread.

Add to these three samplers

Yours is so nice and even! Well done.
This is one of those stitches I am fascinated by, but have never quite managed to make use of...
Well done! This stitch can be used for a variety of 3-d effects. There is an Australian embroiderer, I must find her name again! And she uses this stitch in her work often.
