I have now begun working on my Level 2 certification. This level is called Koutouka Shuuryou which means "Higher Course" but I call it Advanced Beginner or Intermediate because the skills focus on temari stitching:
I have now completed the first lesson which is the Descending Herringbone. This technique requires close stitching and you are taking the stitch below and next to the prior stitches so you have to keep the stitches a bit loose so you can lift the threads to get as close as possible. The first temari has the added complexity of the thread being doubled thus care must be taken to keep the 2 threads flat and not twisted.
