sometimes, ill pass the thread underneath another one so I can keep all the crosses going the same way....but I do go out of my way to plan my path, which means I dont always go in one straight row.

Ponto Cruz avesso perfeito ...
Ive seen similar videos done in English... And I guess there are two things that bothers me about that method...one is that it hides the thread in the FRONT... the other is, I like all my Xs going the same way, but in the videos, if you move up a level, the direction the Xs cross changes :<
You can thread the other side of your cross UNDER the first one, if necessary. I make mistakes sometimes and this method saved me on some occasions.

A good backside is only possible in work with easy or normal difficulty. In embroidery with high difficulty (like HAED, Golden Kite, etc.) is illogical to think about it, considering that we have to work with at least 100 colours.
When a I did my first cross stitch work concerned me the backside (about 3-4 years ago) but now I think its too much important to make a perfect cross in the front than to make a perfect backside.
When I made my first HAED took me months look for information about how to do a good backside, at the end I understood that is more important do a good cross on the front for the effect of paint i

So Im beginning to hear... *sigh* At least one could dream...if only for a little while XD
When I made my first HAED took me months look for information about how to do a good backside, at the end I understood that is more important do a good cross on the front for the effect of paint in this type of work (and the backside will never be seen).
Why I say this? Make a good cross is very complicated because there are many things to note:
- The direction of the cross will be always the same.
- If you using two strands, these should be parallel.
- The tension must be the same.
- All the crosses must be equal.
That looks awesome... I am a sticker for having the crosses on in one direction... My current project has threads varying from 1 to 5, which is quite...annoying but I suppose it gives it a different t

That looks awesome... I am a sticker for having the crosses on in one direction... My current project has threads varying from 1 to 5, which is quite...annoying but I suppose it gives it a different texture... I am fairly good at the tension being the same and crosses being equal, but in my next project, ill definitely be working on keeping two strands parallel... Ive purchased some Thread Heaven, and hopefully itll help keep my threads from tangling/twisting as much!
My stitches all go in one direction, but I stopped worrying about the backside unless it is going to cause problems when mounting and framing. Your work looks amazing!
