How do you stitch these ?

Edited by stitcherex at 2015-9-10 09:43

I downloaded a few of these as they are so pretty, and look easy to stitch.As i was studying one chart to decide on the stitch path, I realize that I do not know where to start, how to go about it.I would like to use over-dyed threads to stitch them.Appreciate your thoughts and advice.The sample chart that I attach here is a freebie from liselotte.
Thanks for help :)

I always start from the top left and do all of each color.

I would think starting in the middle would be the best option.   It does depend on the stitcher though and what they prefer.

On a chart like this you will need to start in the middle of the design and work your way towards the side . By starting in the middle you will need to fold it in half and then in half again and mark the cornor with some thread or needle as shown in the picture .

If you are going to stitch with solid color threads, you can start from the center part. But if you are going to use multi-color threads, I think its better to start from the corner. (Any corner will do, according to your preference.) :)

I would agree, solid colours from the centre and variegated from a corner. With variegated I would work each element finished before going on to the next to get a nice shading.

I tried starting from the middle, but didnt work for me. I start from upper left corner and proceed down. Or ( if there isnt many colours) I stitch with one colour, then next, from darkest to the fairest.

Start where you find easiest to continue (maybe starting point for first thread).

I would start from Top left corner, stitch the corner motif first and then contiue with the single line border on the outside and add the motifs as I came to each one.
