In completing the whip stitch, the concept of done is guided by stopping after three stitches.

Correcting the twisted error is associated with matching two striking features at a time.

Score

The tentative score is ACL 4.4

Verify the use of two striking features by observing the copying activity.

Select the behavior that most closely matches your observations:

Remove incorrect stitches.

Say:

Hold the tool with the single cordovan stitch on top.

Say:

Release the tip and let the lacing fall down the back.

As you give the demonstration, be aware of the fact that they are getting the information from what they see and probably ignoring what you say.

Please note. The lacing goes from:

front to back (through the hole) (pic) and then again from

front to back (through the loop) (pic).

Watch the front to back orientation because it is a major part of the scoring criteria.

Hold the tool with the single cordovan stitch on top.

Say:

The score is uncertain from observations of stitching so an alternative activity is suggested.

Say:

Take the tool away from the person.

Select the best suggestion:

After about three minutes, does the person complete three single cordovan stitches correctly?

Wait a few seconds and then give a demonstration.

If they are still trying to do the stitch, wait another minute.

Then say:

Position the tool so that the single cordovan stitch is on the top.

Say:
