I discovered this while doing the Daisy Picot Stars for my daughters wedding.
This works well with a variegated thread.the sample was made with size 20 Lizbeth thread in 115 springtime.
pull out 15" for the second shuttle thread, you can finger tat or wrap the thread onto a shuttle. This thread will be sh2 (you may need to take more off sh1 until you can get the color change where you need it.
ds = double stitch
dt = direct tat - do not flip
begin your pinch where there is a dramatic color change and finish wrapping your left hand.
starting with
sh1 1 ds
sh2 dt 9ds
sh1 2ds
sh2 9ds
sh1 2ds
sh2 dt 9ds
