Large pieces

xsmom214

I use my qsnaps with a floor stand.  Flirti's tip about putting a pillow under your elbow is excellent!  I keep pillows under both of my elbows since I stitch with 2 hands.

Instead of just making one working copy, I make several of the same page but I blow them up pretty big.  Then I cut it into quarters and attach it right to the fabric with a magnet.  This way it's much easier on my eyes and I'm not covering up a large area of the fabric with the chart.

Good luck with your project!  It's going to be beautiful:)

I never grid my fabric, large or small pieces. I always start at the top right hand corner and slowly work down to the left hand lower corner. That way I avoid touching the finished stitches. This works for me.. Everyone is different, you have to decide what works best for you..
I don't use hoops or frames..

I just find the middle of the chart, the middle of the fabric and work from there.  I don't do grids as I find them timeconsuming.

Well, I start on the right corner below because I stitch from the right to the left side. I stitch one square to the next cause its a lot easier. and i use a marker to mark where i last left off.

I stitch in hand most of the time,  I roll up the fabric from left to right, or from the top down and use a sewing type stitch, with my right hand staying on top of the fabric.  Occasionally, I will use a Q-Snap frame but overall I prefer to use nothing but my left hand to hold the fabric.
