FOUNDATION CHAIN - WORKING  INTO THE FOUNDATION CHAIN INSTRUCTIONS Step #1: When working into the starting chain, you may work under one or two chain loops as  shown in the illustration. Either of these methods forms an even, firm bottom edge.  Some people like to work into the “bump” on the back of the chain. This forms an even,  stretchy bottom edge that is ideal for garments. Whichever method of working into the foundation you choose, be consistent. Work all the  pieces of a project in the same manner. 11
