Dear Sue, Put pins in the pricking as indicated on the working diagram - and hang your bobbins on them to start.
The lines you refer to in the pricking are not indicating where threads go - they are the lines of the graph paper that the pattern has been drawn on. The zig-zag lines across the pricking indicate the direction of travel of the worker pair. It was a brilliant idea to set up a picture trail album - makes commenting on your questions so much easier!!! Keep us informed how you get on!
