Re: Any help please...

Hi
I am new to cross stitch (I last did some when I was a child) and was wondering if people could offer some help please. Do you work a mix of both completing each stitch as you go and working a series of half stitches along a row and then working back to complete the stitches? I have been looking at charts and it seems that, in order to ‘end up where you need to be’, a mix of both styles is necessary. How far do people carry their thread across the back of their work too?
If you were working the heart in the picture below, would you carry your thread across from the top left to the top right of the heart or work it a different way?

In the Christmas Reindeer sampler below, when working the white dots background, would it be ok to carry the thread from one to the other or should each one be worked with a new piece of thread?

I would be most appreciative of any help anyone could offer
