The green dot is between rows 26 and 27.
The distance between the pink and pink dots is 11 bars.
The distance between the white – white dot is 11 columns.
The distance between the yellow-green dot is 3 columns.
The distance between the green – green dot in 1 column
Insert the needle into the first pink dot, leaving a small tip.
