help back stitching
Greetings. I have a question about back stitching. I am wondering if you should stop in every hole or if you can go over a few. Is there a right or wrong way or is it simpley a preference? I would love to hear anyones opinion.

This can be one of those personal preference stitching rules. Some do every hole I do every other hole and some times every third hole it will depend on the size of the count and what the pattern looks like. Also if there is an angle to the stitching the number of holes you skip will depend on the pattern and how the lines are suppose to enhance the picture.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Just to show everyone's different, I do both, if it's a detailed design I backstitch every hole (unless there's an angle) but if it's say a childrens cartoon picture I do every second hole. Good Luck with the competition, shamcc! Welcome to the forum!
