Step 8 First Color Band

Trim ends of black floss to about 1/8-1/4”.  Select your next color, in this case, yellow for bobcat. Leaving a 3/8” tail, place your black embroidery floss so it meets the black band you just created and covers the tails of the black floss.  If there is not enough superglue remaining to secure the next color, apply a small dot to secure the floss.  Maintaining tension on the floss, roll arrow until a 1” band of embroidery floss is created.  Apply a thin line of superglue, approximately 1/8” long to the back of the arrow shaft to finish off this color.  Always be sure that your transitions remain on the ‘back’ of the arrow as designated by the masking tape on the arrowhead.
