tips for backstitching

Gold_Lion

I, too, dislike backstitching.  But done correctly it really does add the finishing touches to a project. Make sure to take your time and put your needle in the correct place so that it virtually disappears into the desigh.  I also dont like black backstitching on most designs.  The backstitching should add dimension without jumping out at you like the outlines in a coloring book.  There are times that I change dark backstitching to a lighter color that blends in well.

I do my backstitching and beading at the end too.  As some one else said, I love seeing how it all sort of comes more alive and looks more finished to me when I do that.  Backstitching goes relatively quick, so it doesnt bother me.  Seems if I do it as I go along, it gets tucked in or covered by other stitches or something always goes wrong, doesnt have as clean of lines.

Tambien lo dejo para el final del bordado, y si no me gusta demasiado el color oscuro que tenga lo cambio por otro color que realce tambien el trabajo, pero que no destaque tanto.:)
