you will want to bring your thread to the top of the fabric about three quarters of the way up the stinger. Take a "bite" of the fabric, from right to left, bringing the tip of the needle out next to the thread. DO NOT PULL THE NEEDLE THROUGH!!!! Here we will start making cast on stitches that create the body of the bee.
