We made this video to show a customer one way of how to sew netting together.

Transcript:

  1. Here's what you're going to start with. On one side of your net, you're going to have what's called a full mesh.
  2. You got a full mesh like that, on the other side you're going to have a half mesh. This is going to be a single string.
  3. You're gonna start with the single string. Take the string you're sewing it with, and you're going to tie onto it with a simple square knot.
  4. Pull that down tight. Now, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to the other side, and we're going to pick up that full mesh.
  5. We're going to run our line through it. We're going to get a string laying right beside that knot. What we're going to do to get this started right, is, we're going to even out this edge, where the meshes are even. All you're really gotta watch for, is this one mesh at the very end.
  6. You want your first knot to be the length of what we call a full mesh here.
  7. Now to start this, what we're going to do, is the string went through the mesh, we're going to come around, we're going to tie around these two strings here. We're going to tie right below the knot here.
  8. Then we're going to pull that down tight. We're going to hang this up on something here. And right now, what we're going to do is stitch this up, we're going from left to right, left to right, zig-zag, back and forth. We're going to tie it in, the distance of half a mesh, which is the distance between two knots.
  9. So, where we just sewed together, we're going to line up that knot with the knot right above the next one that we need to tie.
  10. And what we're simply going to do, is line those two up, and we're going to bring the line right beside our knot, right here that we're fixing to tie, and we're going to tie around the upper two strings. Once again, bringing our knot right up under the knot we're sewing around and we're going to pull that tight.
  11. On the left hand side, you have to go through the mesh first because you want your working twine to be on the left hand.
  12. So once again, the knot we just tied, lines up with the one above the one we're fixing to tie to. Line them up, come right up under that knot right there, pinch it, sew around the top of these two right here, right under the knot, pull it down.
  13. We're going to lay our twine that we're sewing with to the left, pull it down here, even these two up as close as we can, tie around the top two.
  14. Left side, go through the mesh first, line the two knots up, pinch it right here, tie around.
  15. And then you just carry on until you get all the way to the end.
  16. Now, for a beginner, this is going to be tough on your fingers. This is going to make them very raw. You might want to try gloves. This is very difficult to do with gloves, some people do it. You may want to tie this in stages. You may want to get two or three people and let somebody sew for a little while as it will put blisters on your fingers.
