tips for backstitching

I always done it at the end, never thought of doing it as I went. I will try that on my next one.

I wait till the end to do any backstitching.  If there are any beads, I put those on after backstitching.

I have a love/hate relationship with backstitching. I hate to do it but i love the look of how it finishes off and defines parts of the project. I also change the colour of the thread as sometimes black is not the right colour to outline so change it to a more complimenting colour

i hate backstitch also. but i think it worth it when we see our cross stitch become alive in the end
