Outline

Im curious as to how different people handle outlining.  Is it something you do as you go or end with after finishing all the other stitches?

I find doing the back stitch last is a pain, so now I do it as I go.   Ive done large designs with lots of back stitch and leaving it to the end
was no fun at all.

Personally, I like to wait until the end.  I really enjoy the way it defines and sharpens the piece as I go.  I think Im one of those few who just dont hate backstitching!

I do mine after. If you dont the back stitch can be destroyed by the hoop.
