Kutchwork Tutorial - The Basic Diamond

We are going to do the basic diamond in kutch work.
Fix the fabric in the embroidery frame. Thread the needle.  

STEP 1 - OUTLINING
Points to remember 
1. Always keep the thread under the needle while outlining the basic diamond.
2. Rotate the frame during each step to make outline stitching more comfortable.
 
Bring up the needle at 1. Insert at 2 and bring it up at 3. 
While outlining the basic diamond, always keep the thread under the needle, 
as shown in the picture. (First side is formed)

Notice that I rotated the frame before doing the next step.
Hold the frame and needle in such a manner that the needle eye is pointing towards you.
Insert at 4 and bring it up at 5, again keeping the thread under the needle.
 (Second side of the motif)
