Sorry for asking such a stupid question, but this is my first time doing this.

big blue. if its just a simple diamond you can just take a piece of thread size D you want something thick and just make for example 1 inch spaces, just mark them with a sharpie on the thread. Take a second length of size D and mark spaces half the distance of your first thread to go with the example mark 1/2" spaces. 1 thread goes on the 0 degree and the other goes on the 180 degree. Get a few wraps down to serve as a guide and pull the "measurement threads #^&#^&#^&#^& You really dont have to get too involved with offset taper spacing etc for simple diamonds.

Domination takes full concentration..
