Think of your foundation
Think of your foundation chain as the center of a track. For the first "round" you will be going all around the foundation chain just as if you were running around a track.
I hope this imagery helps.
Round
I think they could have just said > ROW
But since you do go around and around they just used that word .
Best to you in sewing >
