Hello Kelly Jo!
New visual instruction, with very few words, and mostly  
illustrations, will help.

Meanwhile, have you read all the published descriptions of these  
symbols?

Here are the instruction pages from various textbooks already  
published on SignWriting, plus eLessons on the subject. I know they  
are dry to read, but if you really read the pages carefully again and  
again, I believe they will become clearer.


1. SignoEscritura Textbook
Chapters 8-11
http://www.signwriting.org/spain/lecciones/

------

2. Lessons in SignWriting Textbook
Chapter 8: Axial Movement
http://www.signwriting.org/lessons/lessonsw/lessonsweb.html

If you read the second paragraph on the first page in the Axial  
Movement chapter, you see that the symbols "stay in one place".
