how to cross stitch effectively

hi,
Just wondering if you guys cross every single stitch as your going or do a row of half stitches and then come back and complete?
A little confused about what is the best method.

I do both.Doing the row of half stitches and then going back and completing them is faster than doing single crosses.Sometimes depending on the pattern its just easier to do a few single crosses though.

Yo también las hago de las dos formas.

Y tengo otra duda, como se hacen las cruces para que la trasera quede igual que la delantera de la labor?

I also do both.It depends on if the pattern calls for a row of the same color.I do complete crosses when I use hand dyed threads because the color of the strand is varied.If I’m using dmc or needlepoint silk that is a solid color I will do half crosses across and then come back the opposite way with half crosses if the pattern lends itself to make that work.
