I do the exact opposite. From the pic attached. I would take 1. have all my spacing measured out and written down. ie how much space each guidefoot pad is in total length. And list them guide 1 x amount, guide 2 x amount.

Once that writing portion setup is complete, take a small piece of that gold metallic thread, rock out 4 or 5 wraps twist in some black, continue to wrap the guidefoot pad and repeat.

also once you have all your measurements laid out using thin yellow quilters tape is an awesome way to lay out and get a good visual for all your spacing before you start. when its time to wrap just wrap in the area inside the tape, 1,2,3,4 wrap of gold, twist in some black, wrap to the end of the tape. I dont think any of that is economical if youre doing it commecially but as a hobbyist it 1. helps 2. saves time 3. makes it look neat

Hope all is good Steve!

Domination takes full concentration..
